 * A virtual connection to a conceptual endpoint, to perform RPCs. A channel is free to have zero or
 * many actual connections to the endpoint based on configuration, load, etc. A channel is also free
 * to determine which actual endpoints to use and may change it every RPC, permitting client-side
 * load balancing. Applications are generally expected to use stubs instead of calling this class
 * directly.
 *
 *
