+- `X-Etcd-Index` is the current etcd index as explained above. When request is a watch on key space, `X-Etcd-Index` is the current etcd index when the watch starts, which means that the watched event may happen after `X-Etcd-Index`.
|
|
|
- `X-Raft-Index` is similar to the etcd index but is for the underlying raft protocol
|
|
|
- `X-Raft-Term` is an integer that will increase whenever an etcd master election happens in the cluster. If this number is increasing rapidly, you may need to tune the election timeout. See the [tuning][tuning] section for details.

|
|
|

|
|
|
+1. The `X-Etcd-Index` is always greater than or equal to the `modifiedIndex` when

|
|
|
+Using the `modifiedIndex` + 1 is functionally equivalent for subsequent
