I think we can't simply sleep. Suppose volume A has only one object O,
so when A read/write O, we need recover it first, otherwise the request
won't have a chance to execute. So to execute the request, we have to
put higher priority to recover the object first.

Probably the solution is like current lazy recovery:
 - use tree to manage prio_oids and recovery_oids
 - put higher priority to prio_oid and recover them aggressively
 - put lower priority to other oids to be recovered.

Thanks,
