I apologize; it had escaped me that our examples don't quite illustrate
your intended use. Two important things that gRPC does require are that the
client has to initiate communication with the server (by establishing a
channel) and that the client has to initiate the bidirectionally-streaming
RPC. What is not required is that the client send the first message. It's
perfectly fine for the server to send the first message. It's perfectly
fine for the server to send all its messages before the client sends any.
It's perfectly fine for the server to send all its messages and for the
client to never send a single message.
