Hello, What's the process for submitting a project to https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem ? I would like to propose the bi-directional streams (PoC here: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/pull/11023 , but it evolved beyond that PR) to allow the server call services on connected clients, RSocket-style, after having 6+ months of production experience with it and verifying that it works and allows building previously impossible use cases with grpc-java.
An artificial (but close to one of my use cases) example for it would be a Kafka-like protocol on top of gRPC, where the server would allocate partitions and call the worker service with a stream of messages, using the native flow control. I've implemented something similar in the past with a stream of assignments (see https://github.com/bsideup/liiklus/blob/0.10.0/protocol/src/main/proto/LiiklusService.proto ) but it requires making the clients more fat (as in, contain the logic) and poses a challenge in load balanced environments.
