// Package clientv3 implements the official Go etcd client for v3.
//
// Create client using `clientv3.New`:
//
//	cli, err := clientv3.New(clientv3.Config{
//		Endpoints:   []string{"localhost:2379", "localhost:22379", "localhost:32379"},
//		DialTimeout: 5 * time.Second,
//	})
//	if err != nil {
//		// handle error!
//	}
//	defer cli.Close()
//
// Make sure to close the client after using it. If the client is not closed, the
// connection will have leaky goroutines.
//
// To specify client request timeout, pass context.WithTimeout to APIs:
//
//	ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), timeout)
//	resp, err := kvc.Put(ctx, "sample_key", "sample_value")
//	cancel()
//	if err != nil {
//	    // handle error!
//	}
//	// use the response
//
// The Client has internal state (watchers and leases), so Clients should be reused instead of created as needed.
// Clients are safe for concurrent use by multiple goroutines.
//
// etcd client returns 2 types of errors:
//
//	1. context error: canceled or deadline exceeded.
//	2. gRPC error: see https://github.com/coreos/etcd/blob/master/etcdserver/api/v3rpc/error.go.
//
// Here is the example code to handle client errors:
//
//	resp, err := kvc.Put(ctx, "", "")
//	if err != nil {
//		if err == context.Canceled {
//			// ctx is canceled by another routine
//		} else if err == context.DeadlineExceeded {
//			// ctx is attached with a deadline and it exceeded
//		} else if verr, ok := err.(*v3rpc.ErrEmptyKey); ok {
//			// process (verr.Errors)
//		} else {
//			// bad cluster endpoints, which are not etcd servers
//		}
//	}
//
