blockingV2ServerStreamingCall

@ExperimentalApi("https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/10918")
public static <ReqT,RespT> BlockingClientCall<ReqT,RespT> blockingV2ServerStreamingCall(Channel channel,
                                                                                                    MethodDescriptor<ReqT,RespT> method,
                                                                                                    CallOptions callOptions,
                                                                                                    ReqT req)

Initiates a client streaming call over the specified channel. It returns an object which can be used in a blocking manner to retrieve responses..

The methods BlockingClientCall.hasNext() and BlockingClientCall.cancel(String, Throwable) can be used for more extensive control.

Returns:

A BlockingClientCall that has had the request sent and halfClose called

blockingClientStreamingCall

@ExperimentalApi("https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/10918")
public static <ReqT,RespT> BlockingClientCall<ReqT,RespT> blockingClientStreamingCall(Channel channel,
                                                                                                  MethodDescriptor<ReqT,RespT> method,
                                                                                                  CallOptions callOptions)

Initiates a server streaming call and sends the specified request to the server. It returns an object which can be used in a blocking manner to retrieve values from the server. After the last value has been read, the next read call will return null.

Call BlockingClientCall.read() for retrieving values. A null will be returned after the server has closed the stream.

The methods BlockingClientCall.hasNext() and BlockingClientCall.cancel(String, Throwable) can be used for more extensive control.

Example usage:

  while ((response = call.read()) != null) { ... }  

or

 
   while (call.hasNext()) {
     response = call.read();
     ...
   }
  

Note that this paradigm is different from the original blockingServerStreamingCall(Channel, MethodDescriptor, CallOptions, Object) which returns an iterator, which would leave the stream open if not completely consumed.

Returns:

A BlockingClientCall which can be used by the client to write and receive messages over the grpc channel.

blockingBidiStreamingCall

@ExperimentalApi("https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues/10918")
public static <ReqT,RespT> BlockingClientCall<ReqT,RespT> blockingBidiStreamingCall(Channel channel,

                                                                                                CallOptions callOptions)

Initiate a bidirectional-streaming ClientCall and returning a stream object (BlockingClientCall) which can be used by the client to send and receive messages over the grpc channel.

Returns:

an object representing the call which can be used to read, write and terminate it.

futureUnaryCall

public static <ReqT,RespT> com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture<RespT> futureUnaryCall(ClientCall<ReqT,RespT> call,
                                                                                                           ReqT req)

Executes a unary call and returns a ListenableFuture to the response. The call should not be already started. After calling this method, call should no longer be used.

Returns:

a future for the single response message.
