- Channel builders decide the default port based on whether TLS is used.
- Channel builders populate the default port via an Attributes object
passed to NameResolver.Factory#newNameResolver
- NameResolverRegistry contains all the official NameResolvers. Users
can also add custom NameResolvers to it. It looks up NameResolver by
try-and-fail. It is the default NameResolver.Factory for builders.
DnsNameResolver.
- Pass target as Strings instead of URIs from the channel builder to
ManagedChannelImpl. A target string is not necessarily a valid URI, in
which case ManagedChannelImpl will add "dns:///" to the beginning of
the target and use it as URI.
- DnsNameResolver will require scheme "dns" to be present. It no longer
allows scheme-absent URIs.
- Add NameResolver and LoadBalancer interfaces.
- ManagedChannelImpl now uses NameResolver and LoadBalancer for
transport selection, which may return transports to multiple
addresses.
- Transports are still owned by ManagedChannelImpl, which implements
TransportManager interface that is provided to LoadBalancer, so that
LoadBalancer doesn't worry about Transport lifecycles.
- Channel builders can be created by forTarget() that accepts the fully
qualified target name, which is an URI. (TODO) it's not tested.
- The old address-based construction pattern is supported by using
AbstractManagedChannelImplBuilder.DirectAddressNameResolver.
- (TODO) DnsNameResolver and SimpleLoadBalancer are currently
incomplete. They merely work for the single-address scenario.
We want to allow overriding authority in the ManagedChannelBuilder for
testing. In doing that, we basically require that all Channels support
authority. In reality, this simplifies things and is already being done
by the C implementation, as their unix domain socket support uses
"localhost" just like our in-process transport now does.
We can debate some whether "localhost" is really the most appropriate
authority for the in-process transport, but that should probably happen
later since "localhost" is "good enough" for now.
Negotiation failure results in a RuntimeException, which is not properly handled by the okhttp code, resulting in the client hanging.
Refactored the code to shutdown the transport when TLS negotiation fails.
This provides an API for applications to use gRPC without using
ExperimentalApis. It also allows swapping out a transport implementation
in the future.
Client:
* New ManagedChannel abstract class.
* Adding ping to Channel.
* Moving builders and implementations to internal.
Server:
* Added lifecycle management API to Server (mirroring ManagedChannel).
* Moved ServerImpl, AbstractServerBuilder and handler registries to internal.
* New ServerBuilder abstract class (mirroring ManagedChannelBuilder).
Fixes#545
The URI no longer needs to be provided to the Credential explicitly,
which prevents needing to know a magic string and allows using the same
Credential with multiple services.
The current process of building a channel is a bit complicated in that transports have to provide a own shutdown hook to the channel builder in order to close shared executors. This somewhat entagled creation pattern makes it difficult to separate the process of channel building from transport building. Better separating these two should make the code more readable and maintainable moving forward.
Reserve io.grpc for public API only, and all internal stuff in core to
io.grpc.internal, including the non-stable transport API.
Raise the netty/okhttp/inprocess subpackages one level up to io.grpc,
because they are public API and entry points for most users.
Details:
- Rename io.grpc.transport to io.grpc.internal;
- Move SharedResourceHolder and SerializingExecutor to io.grpc.internal
- Rename io.grpc.transport.{netty|okhttp|inprocess} to
io.grpc.{netty|okhttp|inprocess}
