Java Blocking Stub inside StreamObserver

[oddbal...@gmail.com]

In my java client, I'm trying to call a blocking stub inside of a StreamObserver passed to an async stub. Is this allowed? The blocking stub just blocks forever and I never see the message on the c++ server side.

It might also be of use to note that both the blocking and aync stubs are on the same channel. Also, I'm using grpc-java v1.7.0.

It is safe to block in your async stub.  You just won't get any more notifications for that particular stub until you finish blocking.  Other RPCs will proceed normally.
