Main features

new etcd client [GH 3083]

We release a new etcd client in etcd repo to replace the old go-etcd client. The new client provides a clean set of APIs and improves the functionality around request cancellation and error reporting. It is still under development and might not be as stable as go-etcd. We encourage you to get it a try.

etcdctl now uses the new etcd client. The new client should improve the stability and reliability of etcdctl.

experimental v3 API demo [GH 3248]

We’ve proposed (a new version of the etcd API)[https://github.com/coreos/etcd/blob/master/Documentation/rfc/v3api.md] recently. etcd 2.2 supports a subset of the API for testing and demo purposes. It is a non-clustered version and should not be put in production. You can enable it by setting --experimental-v3demo flag, the build and use the etcdctlv3 in etcd repo to interact with it.

cluster health monitoring [GH 3210 3197]

In 2.2, etcd members check for connectivity and timing differences to other other members to ensure the cluster wide health. etcd members report anything unhealthy every 30 seconds as log output.

etcdctl supports a new flag --forever for cluster-health subcommand. With that flag set, etcdctl will monitor cluster health continuously. You can now run etcdctl cluster-health --forever and it will print out the cluster health information every 10 seconds.
