15// Package leasing serves linearizable reads from a local cache by acquiring
16// exclusive write access to keys through a client-side leasing protocol. This
17// leasing layer can either directly wrap the etcd client or it can be exposed
18// through the etcd grpc proxy server, granting multiple clients write access.
19//
20// First, create a leasing KV from a clientv3.Client 'cli':
21//
22// lkv, err := leasing.NewKV(cli, "leasing-prefix")
23// if err != nil {
24// // handle error
25// }
26//
27// A range request for a key "abc" tries to acquire a leasing key so it can cache the range's
28// key locally. On the server, the leasing key is stored to "leasing-prefix/abc":
29//
30// resp, err := lkv.Get(context.TODO(), "abc")
31//
32// Future linearized read requests using 'lkv' will be served locally for the lease's lifetime:
33//
34// resp, err = lkv.Get(context.TODO(), "abc")
35//
36// If another leasing client writes to a leased key, then the owner relinquishes its exclusive
37// access, permitting the writer to modify the key:
38//
39// lkv2, err := leasing.NewKV(cli, "leasing-prefix")
40// if err != nil {
41// // handle error
42// }
43// lkv2.Put(context.TODO(), "abc", "456")
44// resp, err = lkv.Get("abc")
45//
