gRPC Fail Fast Semantics
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
Fail fast requests allow terminating requests (with status UNAVAILABLE) prior
|
|
to the deadline of the request being met.
|
|
|
|
gRPC implementations of fail fast can terminate requests whenever a channel is
|
|
in the TRANSIENT_FAILURE or SHUTDOWN states. If the channel is in any other
|
|
state (CONNECTING, READY, or IDLE) the request should not be terminated.
|
|
|
|
Fail fast SHOULD be the default for gRPC implementations, with an option to
|
|
switch to non fail fast.
|
|
|
|
The opposite of fail fast is 'ignore connectivity'.
