Hello, What's the status of load balancing (https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/load-balancing.md) in C++?
It seems that the "grpclb" implementation exists in core, but there's no way to obtain addresses with is_balancer=true (the DNS resolvers always assume that resolved addresses are regular backend addresses as opposed to balancer addresses; the calls to grpc_lb_addresses_set_address always set is_balancer=false). Right now, I'm planning to multiplex on my side onto a pool of channels (I'm using Kubernetes iptables forwarding, which looks like a L4 balancer from the client side -- all nodes are hidden behind the same IP address), but I'd be willing to switch to grpclb when it becomes available. Also, are there any plans to provide grpclb servers for common use cases (balancing to one Kubernetes service would be a very useful one, and would probably get a lot of usage). Thanks, -Tudor. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "grpc.io" group.
