Review Comment:
   1. A client application opens the file.
   2. It calls read() with 10KB.
   3. It leaves the file open for 1 minute.  `// a gRPC thread is blocked here`
   4. It closes the file.
   
   I see how it works now -- the implementation uses a `BlockingQueue 
responseQueue`.  When the responses are not removed from the queue, the gRPC 
thread is blocked in `StreamingReader.onNext(..)` and the gRPC streaming 
mechanism will throttle and slow down the server side.
   
   However, the number open files will be limited by the number of gRPC 
threads.  Also, when all the gRPC threads are blocked, any gRPC calls will be 
blocked.  In an asynchronous model, threads should not blocked.  When the 
connection is idle at Step 3 above, it should release the thread so it can work 
on other calls.
