Unsolicited events

[Jeivardan]

Hi All,

I have a use case where server send unsolicited events to clients to client’s. Is it possible with grpc, if so please tell how to do.

Thanks,

I think this depends on what you mean by "unsolicited"... 

You could do this with a long-lived server or bi-directional streaming API. Clients can initiate the call and wait for messages. Then, servers will can send messages to the client when they need to. I'm not sure what language you're using, but there are many systems that leverage a "watch" pattern so finding a language specific example _shouldn't_ be too hard. Here's a golang sample where I implemented paxos using gRPC. Learners in the protocol watch acceptors over a server streaming API.

- proto definition: https://github.com/mjpitz/paxos/blob/main/api/paxos.proto#L37
- server: https://github.com/mjpitz/paxos/blob/main/internal/server/acceptor.go#L100-L135
