Class Metadata
A collection of metadata entries that can be exchanged during a call. gRPC supports these types of metadata:
- Request headersare sent by the client at the beginning of a remote call before any request messages are sent.
- Response headersare sent by the server at the beginning of a remote call handler before any response messages are sent.
- Response trailersare sent by the server at the end of a remote call along with resulting call status.
