swarm example: suggested improvements

[warmanton]

I have stolon installed using https://github.com/sorintlab/stolon/tree/master/examples/swarm . All worked fine util today I got etcd with "alarm:NOSPACE" withdefault 2Gb limit. Postgres service stopped working until I fixed quota overlimit. Does stolon need revision history entries from etcd ? How mutch is enough ? 100 ?

What would you like to be added: - --auto-compaction-mode=revision - --auto-compaction-retention=100 command line parameters for etcd (or any reasonable values) in https://github.com/sorintlab/stolon/blob/master/examples/swarm/docker-compose-etcd.yml

Also need some explanation about ${ETCD_TOKEN} and where it comes from (.env ?)

Please fix passwords for replica and postgres in swarm/docker-compose-pg.yml . Current example works only due to both passwords (replication and postgres users) are "password1" and "password1". If passwords are different then provided example does not work.

Why is this needed: To get working from the box example for swarm

This is documented here: https://github.com/sorintlab/stolon/blob/master/doc/architecture.md#etcdv3-compaction

Please open another issue or better a PR to fix this.
