Hi @ahrtr @Elbehery @nic-chen
Can I pick this up? I'm new to distributed systems, so this would be a good learning exercise for me.

[halegreen]

interested in this and tend to try one if you guys has not done it

[Mustafa Elbehery]

I am already working on it, thanks for your help :)

[Kezhi Xiong]

Not sure if this applies to other beginners, but I spend some time looking at the etcd server's code to understand how to wait for a proposal's commit. Thus, it would be great if we can somehow support it (probably by integrating with wait if my understanding is right.)

[Jiaming Cao]

Can I take this over?

[Mustafa Elbehery]

sorry, i am working on it :)
