How to set deadline/timeout for streaming RPC

[Sidhartha Thota]

Hi,

I am using GRPC v1.19 C++ version

I have a client-server mechanism where client streams data to server. So, using client-writer at client end. But if the server is down, the clientwriter creation is taking too much time (around 20 secs) to know that listener is not available.

"""

// created channel unique pointer 

// created stub unique pointer from channel

// Created context obj

deadline = now() + 2 // seconds

context.set_deadline(deadline);

ClientWriter writer = stub->send_data(&context, reply_message)

"""

How can I set deadline/timeout for Streaming RPC where the writer can unblock itself after N secs (where N is configurable).

Thanks,

Sid
