	// For example, in a 10K consul cluster with 5x servers, this default

	// partition.  This parameter begins to take effect when there are
	// more than ~48K clients querying 5x servers or at lower server
	// values when there is a partition.

	// For example, in a 100K consul cluster with 5x servers, it will
