Quick update: We have 3 options to talk to etcd:

1) existing V2 HTTP API - still not deprecated in etcd 3.1.x, so
existing code in tooz still works.
2) grpc based V3 API - We can use the etcd3 package, discussion in
review[1], problem is that this will not work currently with eventlet
based services
3) v3alpha HTTP API - See details in [2], quick prototype requests
based code [3]

Thanks,
Dims
