David Balamber commented on NIFI-3641:
--------------------------------------
Are there any plans to improve the current InvokeGRPC and ListenGRPC
processors, so that they could take any .proto file to communicate with a
third-party gRPC server that uses a specific Protobuf message definition?

> "gRPC is a modern open source high performance RPC framework that can run in
> any environment. It can efficiently connect services in and across data
> centers with pluggable support for load balancing, tracing, health checking
> and authentication. It is also applicable in last mile of distributed
> computing to connect devices, mobile applications and browsers to backend
> services." [1]
> It would be useful to be able to interact with gRPC services in NiFi. A
> first step would be to have a processor that can take a .proto file or files
> and then use the generated code to talk to a gRPC server. Having a
> Site-To-Site gRPC implementation could also be useful though as it should be
> very easy to port to any of the supported platforms. [2]
> This should allow us to interact with Tensor Flow among other things.
