The `--endpoint` flag can specify any number of etcd cluster members in a comma
separated list. This list might be a subset, equal to, or more than the actual
etcd cluster member list itself.

If only one peer is specified via the `--endpoint` flag, the etcdctl discovers the
rest of the cluster via the member list of that one peer, and then it randomly
chooses a member to use. Again, the client can use the `quorum=true` flag on
reads, which will always fail when using a member in the minority.
If peers from multiple clusters are specified via the `--peers` flag, etcdctl
If peers from multiple clusters are specified via the `--endpoint` flag, etcdctl
will randomly choose a peer, and the request will simply get routed to one of
the clusters. This is probably not what you want.
Note: --peers flag is now deprecated and --endpoint should be used instead,
as it might confuse users to give etcdctl a peerURL.
