core: adds @Nullable Object getAttachedObject() to ServiceDescriptor
compiler: Plumbing necessary to access proto file descriptors via
the reflection service
This reduces the number of methods gRPC brings in by ~450, which is
substantial. Each application will see different numbers though,
depending on their usage and their other dependencies.
A very rough (under) counting for number of methods included because of
gRPC in android-interop-test is 2746, and that is reduced to 2313 (-433)
by this change. That count includes grpc, guava, okhttp, okio, and nano.
The actual reduction of methods is 447, with the discrepency due to
reduction of methods in java.util and java.lang. Of the 433 removed
methods, 377 are from com.google.common.collect and 61 from
com.google.common.base. The removal costed an increase of 5 methods
(total 1671) within io.grpc itself.
partially resolving #1469
The added option for java_plugin `enable_deprecated` is `true` by default in `java_plugin.cpp`, so the generated code for `TestService.java` (`compiler/build.gradle` not setting this option) has all deprecated interfaces and static bindService method.
`./build.gradle` and `examples/build.gradle` set this option explicitly to `false`, so all the other generated classes do not have deprecated code.
Will set `enable_deprecated` to `false` by default in future PR when we are ready.
first step to address issue #1469:
- leave and deprecate interfaces in codegen
- introduce `ServiceImplBase`,
- `AbstractService` is deprecated and extends `ServiceImplBase`
- static `bindService()` is deprecated
This allows us to play with zero-copy and proto3 support for lite.
Unfortunately, it introduced some warnings, so deprecated warnings are
now ignored for benchmarks and interop-testing.
This reverts commit 3df1446deb.
The commit was adding to the difficulty of integration for testing. By
itself it isn't bad, so this is a temporary revert until the many other
commits are absorbed and then it will be reapplied.
This does have a manual edit for ClientCallsTest.
'nano=true' still works, but any value is now ignored. This is to align
with our lite flag, but also just because It's Cleaner.
Note that this is counter to what javanano does. Javanano requires all
flags have a value and uses true/false for many values.
Lite already worked by using the protobuf project, but would bring in
extra dependencies that are not intended to work with lite. Although
protobuf is not yet providing a lite package on Maven Central, we will
be able to swap to it once it is available.
There isn't any new original code in the Java portion, except for a new
overload in ProtoUtils that accepts Message instead of MessageLite.
Depending on Message in ProtoUtils allows us to support extra features
out-of-the-box without any changes to the generated code. For example,
JSON encoding could be supported in this way if Marshaller is enhanced.
However, now codegen must be aware of Lite in order to choose with Util
class to use. That is new code.
This requires that all nano protos have .nano in their package name. The
support is expected to be removed from protobuf soon, since using the
deprecated package name causes problems.
This reduces the necessary number of threads in the application executor
and provides a small improvement in latency (~15μs, which is normally in
the noise, but would be a 5% improvement).
Benchmark (direct) (transport) Mode Cnt Score Error Units
Before:
TransportBenchmark.unaryCall1024 true INPROCESS avgt 10 1566.168 ± 13.677 ns/op
TransportBenchmark.unaryCall1024 false INPROCESS avgt 10 35769.532 ± 2358.967 ns/op
After:
TransportBenchmark.unaryCall1024 true INPROCESS avgt 10 1813.778 ± 19.995 ns/op
TransportBenchmark.unaryCall1024 false INPROCESS avgt 10 18568.223 ± 1679.306 ns/op
The benchmark results are exactly what we would expect, assuming that
half of the benefit of direct is on server and half on client:
1566 + (35769 - 1566) / 2 = 18668 ns --vs-- 18568 ns
It is expected that direct=true would get worse, because
SerializingExecutor is now used instead of
SerializeReentrantCallsDirectExecutor plus the additional cost of
ThreadlessExecutor.
In the future we could try to detect the ThreadlessExecutor and ellide
Serializ*Executor completely (as is possible for any single-threaded
executor). We could also optimize the queue used in ThreadlessExecutor
to be single-producer, single-consumer. I don't expect to do those
optimizations soon, however.
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.

ARG_IN_ and ARG_OUT_ are prefixes as otherwise there could be a name
collision with an oddly-named method. Since the other fields are
prefixed with METHOD_ they can't collide.
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 reduces the amount of logic built into the generated code. If we
swap to an alternative form of decoding we should have greater ability
to adapt the existing API to make use of the new one. Previously most
changes would require duplicating all the nano marshalling code.
