  * Add the new member as learner via [gRPC members API][member-api-grpc] or the `etcdctl member add --learner` command.
- Note that v2 [HTTP member API][member-api] does not support this feature. (If user wants to use HTTP,
- etcd provides a JSON [gRPC gateway][grpc-gateway], which serves a RESTful proxy that translates HTTP/JSON requests into gRPC messages.)
