Etcd: What is the reason for etcd's 8GB limit on storage?

[arjunsingri]

As mentioned here, is the storage size limit of 8GB a hard limit? I tried setting it to more than 8GB but the cluster was not operational after that.

etcdctl version: 3.3.13

@arjunsingri I hope the discussion here should help you understand it better, https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/issues/9771
