send write request to any member or only the leader

[SO]

Hi,

if I have an ectd cluster of 3 members (one leader and two followers), can I send the write request to any member ? or should I send it only to the leader ?

Thanks

From FAQ

Do clients have to send requests to the etcd leader?

Raft is leader-based; the leader handles all client requests which need cluster consensus. However, the client does not need to know which node is the leader. Any request that requires consensus sent to a follower is automatically forwarded to the leader. Requests that do not require consensus (e.g., serialized reads) can be processed by any cluster member.
