clustering flags:

	--initial-advertise-peer-urls 'http://localhost:2380'

		initial cluster configuration for bootstrapping.
	--initial-cluster-state 'new'
		initial cluster state ('new' or 'existing').
	--initial-cluster-token 'etcd-cluster'

		reject reconfiguration requests that would cause quorum loss.
	--auto-compaction-retention '0'
		auto compaction retention length. 0 means disable auto compaction.
	--auto-compaction-mode 'periodic'
		interpret 'auto-compaction-retention' one of: periodic|revision. 'periodic' for duration based retention, defaulting to hours if no time unit is provided (e.g. '5m'). 'revision' for revision number based retention.
