 Etcd can be used as a centralized coordination service in a cluster and `TestAndSet` is the most basic operation to build distributed lock service. This command will set the value only if the client provided `prevValue` is equal the current key value.

 We can give another parameter prevValue to set command to make it a TestAndSet command.

 We successfully changed the value from “one” to “two”, since we give the correct previous value.
