+The `Observer` returned by `observe()` can be use to monitor the changes of election ownership.
+The observer stream will be canceled when been destructed.
+
+```c++
+  std::unique_ptr<etcd::Observer> observer = etcd.observe("test");
+
+  // wait one change event, blocked execution
+  etcd::Response resp = observer->WaitOnce();
+
+  // wait many change events, blocked execution
+  for (size_t i = 0; i < ...; ++i) {
+    etcd::Response resp = observer->WaitOnce();
+    ...
+  }
+
+  // cancel the observer
+  observer.reset(nullptr);
+```
