	// there is no defined policy. This can be "allow" which means
	// ACLs are used to black-list, or "deny" which means ACLs are
	// white-lists.
	ACLDefaultPolicy string

	// ACLDownPolicy controls the behavior of ACLs if the ACLDatacenter
	// cannot be contacted. It can be either "deny" to deny all requests,

	// cached policies. If a policy is not in the cache, it acts like deny.
	// "allow" can be used to allow all requests. This is not recommended.
	ACLDownPolicy string

	// ACLReplicationToken is used to fetch ACLs from the ACLDatacenter in
	// order to replicate them locally. Setting this to a non-empty value
	// also enables replication. Replication is only available in datacenters
	// other than the ACLDatacenter.
	ACLReplicationToken string

	// ACLReplicationInterval is the interval at which replication passes
	// will occur. Queries to the ACLDatacenter may block, so replication
	// can happen less often than this, but the interval forms the upper
	// limit to how fast we will go if there was constant ACL churn on the
	// remote end.
	ACLReplicationInterval time.Duration

	// apply operations that we allow during a one second period. This is
	// used to limit the amount of Raft bandwidth used for replication.
	ACLReplicationApplyLimit int

	// TombstoneTTL is used to control how long KV tombstones are retained.
	// This provides a window of time where the X-Consul-Index is monotonic.
	// Outside this window, the index may not be monotonic. This is a result
	// of a few trade offs:
	// 1) The index is defined by the data view and not globally. This is a
	// performance optimization that prevents any write from incrementing the
	// index for all data views.
	// 2) Tombstones are not kept indefinitely, since otherwise storage required
	// is also monotonic. This prevents deletes from reducing the disk space
	// used.
	// In theory, neither of these are intrinsic limitations, however for the
	// purposes of building a practical system, they are reasonable trade offs.
	//
	// It is also possible to set this to an incredibly long time, thereby
	// simulating infinite retention. This is not recommended however.
	//
	TombstoneTTL time.Duration

	// TombstoneTTLGranularity is used to control how granular the timers are

	// DisableCoordinates controls features related to network coordinates.
	DisableCoordinates bool

	// CoordinateUpdatePeriod controls how long a server batches coordinate
	// updates before applying them in a Raft transaction. A larger period

	// being more stale.
	CoordinateUpdatePeriod time.Duration

	// CoordinateUpdateBatchSize controls the maximum number of updates a
	// server batches before applying them in a Raft transaction.
	CoordinateUpdateBatchSize int
