/**
 * An {@code RpcController} mediates a single method call. The primary purpose of the controller is
 * to provide a way to manipulate settings specific to the RPC implementation and to find out about
 * RPC-level errors.
 *
 * 

Starting with version 2.3.0, RPC implementations should not try to build on this, but should * instead provide code generator plugins which generate code specific to the particular RPC * implementation. This way the generated code can be more appropriate for the implementation in use * and can avoid unnecessary layers of indirection. * *

The methods provided by the {@code RpcController} interface are intended to be a "least common * denominator" set of features which we expect all implementations to support. Specific * implementations may provide more advanced features (e.g. deadline propagation). * * @author [email protected] Kenton Varda */ public interface RpcController { // ----------------------------------------------------------------- // These calls may be made from the client side only. Their results // are undefined on the server side (may throw RuntimeExceptions). /** * Resets the RpcController to its initial state so that it may be reused in a new call. This can * be called from the client side only. It must not be called while an RPC is in progress. */ void reset(); /** * After a call has finished, returns true if the call failed.
