/**
* 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.
*
* Applications can add common cross-cutting behaviors to stubs by decorating Channel
* implementations using {@link ClientInterceptor}. It is expected that most application
* code will not use this class directly but rather work with stubs that have been bound to a
* Channel that was decorated during application initialization.
