Class GrpcChannel

Represents a gRPC channel. Channels are an abstraction of long-lived connections to remote servers. Client objects can reuse the same channel. Creating a channel is an expensive operation compared to invoking a remote call so in general you should reuse a single channel for as many calls as possible.
