Named leases

[edhCoder]

Has anyone considered having the option to name a lease instead of using the default assigned 16 char hex string..

Example:

etcd lease grant 10 --leasename=my10secondlease
etcd lease grant 10 --leasename=mylease# (where # is replace with a sequence number)
etcd lease grant 10 --leasename=mylease$ (where $ is replace with a time value)

Hey @edhCoder - Thanks for raising this idea, was there more context you could add on why you're interested in this? 🙏🏻

yes.. just by looking at a lease tag there's no way to know anything about it. A named lease would give users a way to identify what a lease was for and possibly its purpose. Having some variables in the lease name would prevent collisions. Having an option to list all the leases is meaningless if it's just a bunch of hex strings.
