2 years ago Hi, Jeffrey, thanks for the proposal!
We're currently in the process of redefining the client side a little bit. #199 will make it easier to implement a new client adapter, and then I want to add a client based on a library other than Gun because the library has been stuck on a pre-release for v2.
I think that after that we can work on retries for sure. Perhaps there's a way to implement that in an adapter-agnostic way, though, so you might wanna look into this.
If you also see that there's still some required work before that like you mentioned, we can draw a road map for this feature in the issues tracker and tackle it in that way.
What do you think?
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be nice if elixir-grpc supported client-retries in the same way that Java/Go/C/.NET clients do.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implementing retries to the spec laid out here: https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A6-client-retries.md
Additional context I'm mainly starting this feature request to judge interest in this feature and guage appetite for developing it. I suspect there would be some pre-work necessary like Service Config support.
There is potential that my company may be able to put some time into supporting this. However, I wanted to get a feel for if maintainers would find it valuable and if there were any thoughts on whether
elixir-grpcis in a good place to receive the feature or if there are other initiatives in progress that might preclude this.
