Extend the Godoc for resolver.ClientConn.UpdateState with a
description of how resolvers should handle returned errors.
The description is based on the explanation of dfawley in
https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/issues/5048
Nobody should directly need to reference these packages.
This is technically a breaking change. However:
- Package dns was exporting a NewBuilder method. This should never have been necessary to use, but if so, it can be replaced by importing the "grpc" package and then using resolver.Get("dns").
- Package passthrough was not exporting any symbols and there was never a need to even blank-import it.
After as much searching as possible, it appears nobody in the open source community is referencing either of these packages.
* Implement missing pieces for connection backoff.
Spec can be found here:
https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/connection-backoff.md
Summary of changes:
* Added a new type (marked experimental), ConnectParams, which contains
the knobs defined in the spec (except for minConnectTimeout).
* Added a new API (marked experimental), WithConnectParams() to return a
DialOption to dial with the provided parameters.
* Added new fields to the implementation of the exponential backoff in
internal/backoff which mirror the ones in ConnectParams.
* Marked existing APIs WithBackoffMaxDelay() and WithBackoffConfig() as
deprecated.
* Added a default exponential backoff implementation, for easy use of
internal callers.
Added a new backoff package which defines the backoff configuration
options, and is used by both the grpc package and the internal/backoff
package. This allows us to have all backoff related options in a
separate package.
Technically this is a behavior change, but any usage of "host:" or ":" should be considered invalid, since dialing a target with a trailing ":" attempts to dial port zero, which is never valid (and we always used to pass the target directly to `net.Dial`).
In https://github.com/grpc/grpc/pull/15618, the target format will be defined as: `host[:port]` -- not: `host[:[port]]`. (This is potentially subject to change.)
