+// Package ordering is a clientv3 wrapper that caches response header revisions
+// to detect ordering violations from stale responses. Users may define a
+// policy on how to handle the ordering violation, but typically the client
+// should connect to another endpoint and reissue the request.
+//
+// The most common situation where an ordering violation happens is a client
+// reconnects to a partitioned member and issues a serializable read. Since the
+// partitioned member is likely behind the last member, it may return a Get
+// response based on a store revision older than the store revision used to
+// service a prior Get on the former endpoint.
+//
+// First, create a client:
+//
+//	cli, err := clientv3.New(clientv3.Config{Endpoints: []string{"localhost:2379"}})
+//	if err != nil {
+//		// handle error!
+//	}
+//
+// Next, override the client interface with the ordering wrapper:
+//
+//	vf := func(op clientv3.Op, resp clientv3.OpResponse, prevRev int64) error {
+//		return fmt.Errorf("ordering: issued %+v, got %+v, expected rev=%v", op, resp, prevRev)
+//	}
+//	cli.KV = ordering.NewKV(cli.KV, vf)
+//
+// Now calls using 'cli' will reject order violations with an error.
