Kubernetes 1.9 changed the default for etcd-quorum-read flag value to
true, in the hope of fixing some of the edge-case controller issues.
However, while this is cheap on etcd3, that fix was not backported to
etcd2, and performance there of quorum reads is poor.
For non-HA clusters with etcd2, it still goes through raft, but does not
need to - we set etcd-quorum-read to false, as this is just a missed
optimization in etcd2.
For HA clusters with etcd2, it's trickier, but at least for now we're
going to avoid the (crippling) performance regression. kops 1.10 should
have etcd-manager (allowing upgrades to etcd3), and the ability to
configure IOPS on the etcd volume, so we can revisit this in 1.10 /
1.11.
