Need more detailed info on etcd component...
Hi It would be very help to have a flow digram that show how a request from a client to an etcd... I, for one, are not able to visualize what the flow looks like based on this paragraph: "Do clients have to send requests to the etcd leader? Raft is leader-based; the leader handles all client requests which need cluster consensus. However, the client does not need to know which node is the leader. Any request that requires consensus sent to a follower is automatically forwarded to the leader. Requests that do not require consensus (e.g., serialized reads) can be processed by any cluster member." So, based on the header fo this paragraph, it suggests that there are more than one instance of etcd in a cluster....there's a "ectd leader" and "ectd followers/workers"? If so, how the leader works when it gets an API request? etc... Thanks J.N

Discussed during sig-etcd triage. It would beneficial to surface these diagrams and https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/tree/main/Documentation/etcd-internals/diagrams on the etcd website under the learning section:
- https://etcd.io/docs/v3.5/learning
- https://etcd.io/docs/v3.6/learning
As mentioned on the call by @lavacat we should ensure the diagrams come with a note on when they were created.
Hey @fykaa - How's it going with this pr? Is this something you are still working on?
Hey, I'm currently in the process of gathering all the necessary information and resources to put it effectively. I haven't started the actual work yet, but rest assured, I'll try to make a headway on it soon!!
