CREATE PLACEMENT POLICY ~!@west@!~ PRIMARY_REGION="seattle" REGIONS="seattle,shanghai" FOLLOWERS=2;
CREATE PLACEMENT POLICY ~!@east@!~ PRIMARY_REGION="shanghai" REGIONS="shanghai,seattle" FOLLOWERS=2;

CREATE TABLE test.p_east(
  id bigint primary key auto_random,
  name varchar(30),
  t_mark timestamp
) ~!@PLACEMENT POLICY = east@!~;

CREATE TABLE test.p_west(
  id bigint primary key auto_random,
  name varchar(30),
  t_mar timestamp

PRIMARY_REGION: The option depends on the region tag in TiKV, and the Raft leader is placed on the node with the region tag.

REGIONS: The option relies on the region tag in TiKV, and Raft followers are placed on nodes with region tags.

FOLLOWERS: The number of followers. For example, FOLLOWERS=2 means that there are 3 replica of the data, 2 followers, and 1 leader.
