Step 3 (ledger is recovered) At this point, the client can start recovering the ledger. It has read the last confirmed entry during Step 2. It starts reading forward, one entry at a time, until it gets an NoSuchEntry response from at least one bookie in each quorum for a particular entry id. The last entry in the ledger is, therefore, the preceding entry. The ledger is closed with this as it's its last entry.
