+## Write to multiple M3DB clusters via m3coordinator
+
+### Overview:
+
+Default M3 architecture has the m3coordinator writing to and aggregating metrics from a single M3DB cluster. To map a single coordinator to more than one M3DB cluster, follow the below instructions. 
+
+Use case(s):
+- Sending metrics to different namespaces for different retention periods, etc.
+
+### Instructions: 
+
+1. Add `clusterManagement` to config file to add multiple M3BD clusters to m3coordinator:
+
+Example config file with `clusterManagement` (see end of the config):
+
+```bash
+clusters:
+  # Should match the namespace(s) set up in the DB nodes
+  - namespaces:
+       - namespace: 21d
+         retention: 504h
+         type: unaggregated
+     client:
+       config:
+         service:
+           env: default_env
+           zone: embedded
+           service: m3db
+           cacheDir: /data/m3kv_default
+           etcdClusters:
+             - zone: embedded
+               endpoints:
+              - <ETCD_IP_1>
+              - <ETCD_IP_2>
+              - <ETCD_IP_3>
+       writeRetry:
+         initialBackoff: 500ms
+         backoffFactor: 3
+         maxRetries: 2
+         jitter: true
+       fetchRetry:
+         initialBackoff: 500ms
+         backoffFactor: 2
+         maxRetries: 3
+         jitter: true
+   - namespaces:
+       - namespace: 90d
+         retention: 2160h
+         type: aggregated
+         resolution: 10m
+       - namespace: 500d
+         retention: 12000h
+         type: aggregated
+         resolution: 1h
+     client:
+       config:
+         service:
+           env: lts_env
+           zone: embedded
+           service: m3db
+           cacheDir: /data/m3kv_lts
+           etcdClusters:
+             - zone: embedded
+               endpoints:
+                 - <ETCD_IP_1>
+                 - <ETCD_IP_2>
+                 - <ETCD_IP_3>
+       writeRetry:
+         initialBackoff: 500ms
+         backoffFactor: 3
+         maxRetries: 2
+         jitter: true
+       fetchRetry:
+         initialBackoff: 500ms
+         backoffFactor: 2
+         maxRetries: 3
+         jitter: true

+    etcdClusters:

+          - <ETCD_IP_2>
+          - <ETCD_IP_3>
+```
+2. Use the `Cluster-Environment-Name` header for any API requests to the m3coordinator.
