The "watch" not triggered when the watch key not start with "/"

[nengc]

What happened?

When i set the watch key as "/etcd-test", and put value to the key "/etcd-test", the watch worked. But when i remove the "/", the watch will not triggered.

What did you expect to happen?

With ETCD server, watching without prefix "/" key will work. But not work when using kubebrain.

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

Using etcd client v3

@nengc kubebrain is not fully compatible with etcd3. we assert that apiserver will not watch without prefix "/".

we hacks that when etcd client send watch request without prefix "/", kubebrain process it as streaming list request. it is used to return a KV list through grpc stream to apiserver instead of paged list request for better performance and less cost.
