grpc reconnect

[shafat...@gmail.com]

hi ,

i have a grpc client program, which reconnects automatically every time there is a server restart. I understand grpc has an in build backoff algorithm that connects automatically.

But i have a use case where when the server disconnection happens  and the when the client connects back to the server i would like to do a replay of messages for the client/server to be in sync.

To do that i need to know everytime the server disconnection happens?

is there a way i could do this ?

I am using grpc golang.

conn, err := grpc.Dial(serverIp+":"+ServerPort, timeout, grpc.WithBlock(), grpc.WithInsecure())

Any help is really appreciated.

You can set a custom dialer (https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc#WithDialer). This dialer is called to create new connections.
