Support Client Retries
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It would be nice if elixir-grpc supported client-retries in the same way that Java/Go/C/.NET clients do.
Describe the solution you'd like
Implementing retries to the spec laid out here: https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A6-client-retries.md
Additional context I'm mainly starting this feature request to judge interest in this feature and guage appetite for developing it. I suspect there would be some pre-work necessary like Service Config support.
There is potential that my company may be able to put some time into supporting this. However, I wanted to get a feel for if maintainers would find it valuable and if there were any thoughts on whether elixir-grpc is in a good place to receive the feature or if there are other initiatives in progress that might preclude this.
Hi, Jeffrey, thanks for the proposal!
We're currently in the process of redefining the client side a little bit. #199 will make it easier to implement a new client adapter, and then I want to add a client based on a library other than Gun because the library has been stuck on a pre-release for v2.
I think that after that we can work on retries for sure. Perhaps there's a way to implement that in an adapter-agnostic way, though, so you might wanna look into this.
If you also see that there's still some required work before that like you mentioned, we can draw a road map for this feature in the issues tracker and tackle it in that way.
What do you think?
