/**
* Interface for intercepting outgoing calls before they are dispatched by a {@link Channel}.
*
* Implementers use this mechanism to add cross-cutting behavior to {@link Channel} and
* stub implementations. Common examples of such behavior include:
*
* - Logging and monitoring call behavior
* - Adding metadata for proxies to observe
* - Request and response rewriting
*
*
* Providing authentication credentials is better served by {@link
* CallCredentials}. But a {@code ClientInterceptor} could set the {@code
* CallCredentials} within the {@link CallOptions}.
*
*
The interceptor may be called for multiple {@link ClientCall calls} by one or more threads
* without completing the previous ones first. Refer to the
* {@link com.couchbase.client.core.deps.io.grpc.ClientCall.Listener ClientCall.Listener} docs for more details regarding thread
* safety of the returned listener.

/**
* Intercept {@link ClientCall} creation by the {@code next} {@link Channel}.
*
*
Many variations of interception are possible. Complex implementations may return a wrapper
* around the result of {@code next.newCall()}, whereas a simpler implementation may just modify
* the header metadata prior to returning the result of {@code next.newCall()}.
*
*
{@code next.newCall()} must not be called under a different {@link Context}
* other than the current {@code Context}. The outcome of such usage is undefined and may cause
* memory leak due to unbounded chain of {@code Context}s.
*
* @param method the remote method to be called.
* @param callOptions the runtime options to be applied to this call.
* @param next the channel which is being intercepted.
* @return the call object for the remote operation, never {@code null}.
