Expose a way to set Firestore channel or stub

What feature would you like to see?

Expose a way to set firestore channel or stub

How would you use it?

Currently there is no good way to inspect the grpc traffic that goes over the wire. There is a library that allows inspection of grpc, and with my conversation with the maintainer, all we'd need is a way to set the firestore channel or stub.

Maybe there already is a way to do this that I don't know of yet?

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

Hi,

Thank you for filling up the feature request! Currently we do not support customized firestore channel or stub but it is a valuable suggestion. I create an internal ticket to keep track of this. b/245970919

@cherylEnkidu any chance you can update the feature request to just be able to set a proxy instead of a stub/channel. That looks to be the direction that the github issue attached in the description took.

[cherylEnkidu]

Sure I will update the request.

Hi,

This feature is been tracked internally, I will close this github ticket and reporter will be notified in the future when the feature got implemented.

Hi,

The team decided to keep the ticket open until the feature is implemented or bug is fixed for external visibility.

Cool, it would be really cool to inspect grpc traffic this way
