Do excuse my ignorance, but what practical advantages does etcd offer over Cassandra (or even Riak)? To me, it seems that raft's leader-does-the-heavy-lifting style of replication will only limit the cluster size and thus the horizontal scalability of the cluster. The gossip-based Cassandra has stability and proven scalability.
