Hi all,
I have the following server-streaming method:

> public void multiEcho(EchoRequest verbalVomit, StreamObserver<EchoResposne> 
> responseObserver) {
>     log.fine("someone has just emitted an inconsiderated verbal vomit");
>     var callMonitor = new Object();
>     var echoObserver = (ServerCallStreamObserver<EchoResposne>) 
> responseObserver;
>     echoObserver.setOnReadyHandler(() -> {
>         log.finer("sink ready");
>         synchronized (callMonitor) { callMonitor.notifyAll(); }
>     });
>     echoObserver.setOnCancelHandler(() -> {
>         log.fine("client cancelled the call 1");
>         synchronized (callMonitor) { callMonitor.notifyAll(); }
>     });
> 
>     try {
>         for (int i = 1; i <= verbalVomit.getReps(); i++) {
>             if (echoObserver.isCancelled()) {
>                 log.fine("client cancelled the call 2");
>                 return;
>             }
>             synchronized (callMonitor) {
>                 while( ! echoObserver.isReady()) {
>                     log.finer("sink clogged at rep " + i);
>                     callMonitor.wait();
>                 }
>             }

>         } else {

I create the server this way:

> echoServer = NettyServerBuilder
>       .forPort(port)
>       .maxConnectionAge(10, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
>       .maxConnectionAgeGrace(12, TimeUnit.HOURS)
>       .addService(new EchoService())
>       .build();

and the client looks like this:

> var connector = EchoServiceGrpc.newBlockingStub(channel);
> var request = EchoRequest
>       .newBuilder()
>       .setInconsideratedVerbalVomit(
>               "bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhh" +
>               "hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh")  // 64B
>       .setReps(100)
>       .build();
> var vomitIterator = connector.multiEcho(request);
> while (vomitIterator.hasNext()) {
>       vomitIterator.next();
>       System.out.println("got echo");
> }

and it dead-locks after just a few messages  ;-]

server output looks like this:

> started gRPC EchoServer on port 6666
> Jun 05, 2021 8:22:52 P.M. pl.morgwai.samples.grpc.deadlock.EchoService 
> multiEcho
> FINE: someone has just emitted an inconsiderated verbal vomit
> Jun 05, 2021 8:22:53 P.M. pl.morgwai.samples.grpc.deadlock.EchoService 
> multiEcho
> FINER: sink clogged at rep 7

...and clients:

> got echo
> got echo
> got echo
> got echo
> got echo
> got echo

...and they both hand indefinitely :(

am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?

The interesting part is that if I use direct executor in the server and 
dispatch the work to a separate executor, then it works without any problems 
(that's what I usually do, so I've never encountered this problem before).
ie: 

> public void multiEcho(EchoRequest verbalVomit, StreamObserver<EchoResposne> 
> responseObserver) {
>     log.fine("someone has just emitted an inconsiderated verbal vomit");
>     var callMonitor = new Object();
>     var echoObserver = (ServerCallStreamObserver<EchoResposne>) 
> responseObserver;
>     echoObserver.setOnReadyHandler(() -> {
>         log.finer("sink ready");
>         synchronized (callMonitor) { callMonitor.notifyAll(); }
>     });
>     echoObserver.setOnCancelHandler(() -> {
>         log.fine("client cancelled the call 1");
>         synchronized (callMonitor) { callMonitor.notifyAll(); }
>     });
> 
>     cpuIntensiveOpExecutor.execute(() -> {
>         try {
>             for (int i = 1; i <= verbalVomit.getReps(); i++) {
(...)

and

> echoServer = NettyServerBuilder
>       .forPort(port)
>       .maxConnectionAge(10, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
>       .maxConnectionAgeGrace(12, TimeUnit.HOURS)
>       .addService(new EchoService())
>       .directExecutor()
>       .build();

A full working example (dead-locking that is) can be found on github: 
https://github.com/morgwai/grpc-deadlock

Any hints will be much appreciated :)

Thanks!
