Description

Please replace YOUR_SERVER_ARGS and YOUR_CLIENT_ARGS accordingly. You can also write your own description for reproducing the issue.

I'm using this command to start the server:

bert-serving-start YOUR_SERVER_ARGS

and calling the server via:

bc = BertClient(YOUR_CLIENT_ARGS)
bc.encode()

Then this issue shows up: I ran it according to #380 last reply. But this step( bc = BertClient () ) has been running all the time, and it has been a long time without results (I turned on the GPU). How can I successfully output the text vector? Any help from you will be greatly appreciated.
