The scheduling on another thread led to a race where sometimes the
future wasn't completed by the time isDone() was checked in
ClientCallImpl causing the usage of DelayedStream, which really messed
up what the test was trying to do.
- 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.
- ListenableFutures of transports, instead of actual transports, are
passed through multiple layers to ClientCallImpl, so that name
resolution and load-balancing, which may delay the creation of
transports, won't block the creation of ClientCall. This also
simplifies reconnect logic.
- Moved Transport management for a single address to a separate class
TransportSet. Later, ManagedChannelImpl will own multiple
TransportSets instead of one.
- ClientCallImpl will buffer requests in DelayedStream until transport
is ready.
This test occasionally flakes due to the way the deadline timer cancels the stream. Stream cancellation immediately closes the outbound status, disallowing the sending of further messages. The true cancellation is done sometime later in the transport thread in Netty. So there is a race between closing the outbound status and performing the actual cancellation where sent messages will fail with the wrong status.
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.
It is typically used for receiving, but is on the sending object. It
would be a pain for users to coordinate, and the implementation is
already thread-safe because we always thought it would be thread-safe.
So make it part of the documentation.
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.
Although the functionality is currently available by passing a
manually-created InetAddress, that requires that the user do I/O before
calling our API and does not work with naming in the future.
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.
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.
- Add `@Internal` and `@ExperimentalApi`, both are annotated `@Internal`
- Annotate `@Internal` to `package io.grpc.internal`
- AbstractChannelBuilder.ChannelEssentials is annotated `@Internal`
- ChannelImpl.ping() is annotated `@ExperimentalApi`
- Context is annotated `@ExperimentalApi`
- Add `package-info.java` to `io.grpc.inprocess` and `io.grpc.internal`.
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}
Holding the lock while calling the transport can cause a deadlock, as
shown in #696. In previous auditing for deadlock prevention I considered
heavily Call interactions, but failed to consider shutdown() and realize
it was holding a lock while calling transport.shutdown().
We still hold a lock when calling transport.start(). Although it is
conceivable that this could cause a deadlock as the code evolves over
time, I don't believe it can cause a deadlock today or that the risk is
very high. In addition, it would require more effort to solve.
Note that even more importantly, this translates a RST_STREAM error code
to a gRPC status code. This is generally useful, but also necessary for
DEADLINE_EXCEEDED to be more reliable in 0eae0d9.
Fixes#687
This does make use of the fact we are no longer using Multimap. Doing
entries() for ArrayListMultimap must create a new Map.Entry for every
entry. Since we are now using HashMap, we are able to use entries() with
no extra cost.
Merging particular Keys no longer needs to deserialize.
Multimap creates at least one new object for every access, because all
the objects it returns are "live" and when mutated they need to update
the multimap's size. Many common operations thus require at least an
object allocation per key.
Note that previously remove() was non-functional as it removed the wrong
type from the multimap. The type system did not catch this because
remove() is passed an Object for all collection types.
The return type of removeAll() was changed to Iterable to prevent the
need of converting to Key if the caller doesn't consume the return
value.
Although it appears serialize() is now more expensive in terms of
allocations because it first accumulates into an ArrayList, the memory
usage is approximately the same since Multimap.values() makes an
Iterator for each key. The new code would allocate fewer bytes overall
and in fewer allocations, but the older code retained less memory while
processing. If we want to optimize serialize() we can track the number
of entries without needing to do any wrapping like Multimap does. I
didn't bother because the ArrayList is a fraction of the cost compared
to actually serializing the values.
CANCELLED is certainly not the right status code. Communicating the
exception to the client removes the need for logging, which also makes
it more clear which call experienced the problem.
Improved some consistency. writeHeaders was the only non-final
implementation method of ServerStream, even though it is really no
different than the others.
The previous order was unintuitive as the following would execute in the
reverse order:
Channel channel;
channel = ClientInterceptors.intercept(channel, interceptor1,
interceptor2);
// vs
channel = ClientInterceptors.intercept(channel, interceptor1);
channel = ClientInterceptors.intercept(channel, interceptor2);
After this change, they have equivalent behavior. With this change,
there are no more per-invocation allocations and so calling 'next' twice
is no longer prohibited.

Re make listener abstract
The CallImpls in ChannelImpl and ServerImpl implement the Call
interfaces; they should be the ones ensuring that inappropriate calling
of methods is handled as the interface describes.
The client can race with the server in cancelling due to deadline. If
server cancels we don't get DEADLINE_EXCEEDED, so double-check on
client-side to reduce the chances of losing the race.
Generally we expect the client to lose the race because of coarse timer
granularity for timer expirary. This change does little to help if the
server's clock runs noticably "fast" relative to the client.
call stack and across thread boundaries.
Strongly modeled after the Go context API https://blog.golang.org/context with support for
- cancellation propagation & cancellation listeners
- typed value binding
- timeout/deadline
The major difference with Go is that ThreadLocal is used for propagation instead of parameter
passing as this is considered more idiomatic for Java.
- Rename flushTo() to drainTo().
- Remove flushTo() from DeferredNanoProtoInputStream (which is renamed
to NanoProtoInputStream), because the optimization is not implemented.
- Rename DeferredProtoInputStream to ProtoInputStream.
#529
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.
