pub struct Channel { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

A default batteries included transport channel.

This provides a fully featured http2 gRPC client based on hyper::Client and tower services.

Multiplexing requests

Sending a request on a channel requires a &mut self and thus can only send one request in flight. This is intentional and is required to follow the Service contract from the tower library which this channel implementation is built on top of.

tower itself has a concept of poll_ready which is the main mechanism to apply back pressure. poll_ready takes a &mut self and when it returns Poll::Ready we know the Service is able to accept only one request before we must poll_ready again. Due to this fact any async fn that wants to poll for readiness and submit the request must have a &mut self reference.

To work around this and to ease the use of the channel, Channel provides a Clone implementation that is cheap. This is because at the very top level the channel is backed by a tower_buffer::Buffer which runs the connection in a background task and provides a mpsc channel interface. Due to this cloning the Channel type is cheap and encouraged.

Implementations

Create an Endpoint builder that can create Channels.

Create an Endpoint from a static string.

Channel::from_static("https://example.com");

Create an Endpoint from shared bytes.

Channel::from_shared("https://example.com");

Balance a list of Endpoint’s.

This creates a Channel that will load balance across all the provided endpoints.

Balance a list of Endpoint’s.

This creates a Channel that will listen to a stream of change events and will add or remove provided endpoints.

Balance a list of Endpoint’s.

This creates a Channel that will listen to a stream of change events and will add or remove provided endpoints.

The Channel will use the given executor to spawn async tasks.
