 * Interface to initiate processing of incoming remote calls. Advanced applications and generated

  /**
   * Starts asynchronous processing of an incoming call.
   *
   * Callers of this method transfer their ownership of the non-thread-safe {@link ServerCall}
   * and {@link Metadata} arguments to the {@link ServerCallHandler} implementation for processing.
   * Ownership means that the implementation may invoke methods on {@code call} and {@code headers}
   * while {@link #startCall} runs and at any time after it returns normally. On the other hand, if
   * {@link #startCall} throws, ownership of {@code call} and {@code headers} reverts to the caller
   * and the implementation loses the right to call methods on these objects (from some other
   * thread, say).
   *
   * 
Ownership also includes the responsibility to eventually close {@code call}. In particular,
   * if {@link #startCall} throws an exception, the caller must handle it by closing {@code call}
   * with an error. Since {@code call} can only be closed once, an implementation can report errors
   * either to {@link ServerCall#close} for itself or by throwing an exception, but not both.
   *
   * Returns a non-{@code null} listener for the incoming call. Callers of this method must
   * arrange for events associated with {@code call} to be delivered there.
   *
   * @param call object for responding to the remote client.
   * @param headers request headers received from the client but open to modification by an owner
   * @return listener for processing incoming request messages for {@code call}
