Async client with sync server

[Akeel Laila]

Hi,

My understanding is that even with the default sync server, the server is multi-threaded, and so can handle multiple rpcs in parallel (i.e. server can receive and handle an rpc while it is in the middle of handling some other rpc).

This is confirmed by : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51764721/grpc-cpp-async-server-vs-sync-server

I also read about async client and async server implementations at https://grpc.io/docs/languages/cpp/async/

My question is:

Is it possible to have an async client while the server remains 'sync'. This could be handy for a use case where I don't want clients to be blocked while waiting for an rpc to complete, but at the same time I am satisfied with the default multithreading capability provided in the sync server implementation.

Thanks

Been almost 2 months since I posted this. Anyone have an answer to this question?

Hey Akeel,

Yes you can call a sync server with an async client and vice versa,
