This reduces the number of classes defined, which reduces memory usage.
It also reduces the number of methods defined, which is important
because of the dex limit.
This should have virtually zero performance degradation because the
contiguous switch uses tableswitch bytecode.
ServerCall already had "headers must be sent before any messages, which
must be sent before closing," but the implementation did not enforce it
and our async server handler didn't obey.
The benefit of forcing sending headers first is that it removes the only
implicit call in our API and interceptors dealing just with metadata
don't need to override sendMessage. The implicit behavior was bug-prone
since it wasn't obvious you were forgetting that headers may not be
sent.
There is no need to use ServerMethodDefinition in codegen. The create()
method itself could be helpful to a dynamic HandlerRegistry
implementation, so we won't remove it.
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
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}
- Remove blockingClientStreamingCall() which is not used, and we don't
actually want that API.
- Rename duplexStreamingCall() to asyncDuplexStreamingCall() to align
with other async methods.
- In unary call and client streaming call, do not request for additional
response after the first response.
This gives us more flexibility in API changes in the future.
Unary call and server streaming call should call the flow-control method
call.request() only once. Previously it was called whenever a request
arrives, which is wrong. Now it's fixed.
Resolves#436
Resolves#511.
- In generated code, make CONFIG private and METHOD_* fields public.
METHOD_* fields are MethodDescriptors now, users of the CONFIG field
should switch to using the METHOD_* fields.
- Move MethodType into MethodDescriptor (#529).
- Unify the fully qualified method name. It is fully qualified service
name + slash + short method name. It doesn't have the leading slash.
- HandlerRegistry switches the key from short method name to fully
qualified method name.
- Pass CallOptions to Channel.newCall() and
ClientInterceptor.interceptCall().
- Remove timeout from AbstractStub.StubConfigBuilder and add deadline,
which is stored in a CallOptions inside the stub.
- Deadline is in nanoseconds in the clock defined by System.nanoTime().
It is converted to timeout before transmitting on the wire. Fail the
call with DEADLINE_EXCEEDED if it's already expired.
