If you update an enum type by entirely removing an enum entry, or commenting it out, future users can reuse the numeric value when making their own updates to the type.
The protocol buffer compiler will complain if any future users try to use these identifiers. You can specify that your reserved numeric value range goes up to the maximum possible value using the max keyword. Note that you can't mix field names and numeric values in the same reserved statement. You can use other message types as field types. For example, let's say you wanted to include Result messages in each SearchResponse message — to do this, you can define a Result message type in the same.
In the above example, the Result message type is defined in the same file as SearchResponse — what if the message type you want to use as a field type is already defined in another. You can use definitions from other. To import another. By default, you can use definitions only from directly imported.
However, sometimes you may need to move a. Instead of moving the. For example:. If no flag was given, it looks in the directory in which the compiler was invoked. It's possible to import proto2 message types and use them in your proto3 messages, and vice versa. However, proto2 enums cannot be used directly in proto3 syntax it's okay if an imported proto2 message uses them. You can define and use message types inside other message types, as in the following example — here the Result message is defined inside the SearchResponse message:.
If an existing message type no longer meets all your needs — for example, you'd like the message format to have an extra field — but you'd still like to use code created with the old format, don't worry! It's very simple to update message types without breaking any of your existing code. Just remember the following rules:. Unknown fields are well-formed protocol buffer serialized data representing fields that the parser does not recognize.
For example, when an old binary parses data sent by a new binary with new fields, those new fields become unknown fields in the old binary. Originally, proto3 messages always discarded unknown fields during parsing, but in version 3. In versions 3. The Any message type lets you use messages as embedded types without having their. An Any contains an arbitrary serialized message as bytes , along with a URL that acts as a globally unique identifier for and resolves to that message's type.
The default type URL for a given message type is type. Currently the runtime libraries for working with Any types are under development. If you are already familiar with proto2 syntax , the Any can hold arbitrary proto3 messages, similar to proto2 messages which can allow extensions. If you have a message with many fields and where at most one field will be set at the same time, you can enforce this behavior and save memory by using the oneof feature.
Oneof fields are like regular fields except all the fields in a oneof share memory, and at most one field can be set at the same time. Setting any member of the oneof automatically clears all the other members.
You can check which value in a oneof is set if any using a special case or WhichOneof method, depending on your chosen language. To define a oneof in your. You then add your oneof fields to the oneof definition. You can add fields of any type, except map fields and repeated fields. In your generated code, oneof fields have the same getters and setters as regular fields. You also get a special method for checking which value if any in the oneof is set.
Setting a oneof field will automatically clear all other members of the oneof. So if you set several oneof fields, only the last field you set will still have a value. If the parser encounters multiple members of the same oneof on the wire, only the last member seen is used in the parsed message.
If you set a oneof field to the default value such as setting an int32 oneof field to 0 , the "case" of that oneof field will be set, and the value will be serialized on the wire. Be careful when adding or removing oneof fields. There is no way to tell the difference, since there's no way to know if an unknown field on the wire is a member of the oneof. If you want to create an associative map as part of your data definition, protocol buffers provides a handy shortcut syntax:.
So, for example, if you wanted to create a map of projects where each Project message is associated with a string key, you could define it like this:.
This file is based on examples from the official gRPC repo — you can find the link at the end of this post. The code from our command is auto-generated, so is not a good practice to code on them.
Instead, for the server we will extend the servicer class, so we implement our own gRPC service without editing generated code. On the code above we created a class that it is a subclass of the class generated by the protoc compiler. To generate a response, all we have to do is instantiate the appropriate class. We also coded the serve method, where we created a server with 10 worker threads to serve requests and initialized with the class we created to implement the server-side.
As we can see, is really simple to create a client: we just needed to establish a channel and instantiate a stub with it. Once instantiated, we just need to call the methods on the stub as we normally would do with any Pythonic object. We have implemented our first gRPC service. After generating the files from the proto again, we need to modify our server to reflect the changes.
We do this modifying the file as follows:. As we can see, the new MyMethod3 receives a iterator of request messages and also send a series of responses as well, by using the yield keyword, which teaches Python to create a generator from our function.
We can read more about the yield keyword on this link. Now we modify the client. We also use a generator with the yield keyword, but on this case, we make the generator create each item at random time intervals, to simulate a real life application with data entering at intervals. The response stream is read with a simple for loop, that it will continue to run until there is no data to output:. Please note that all this calls were made using the synchronous approach, so the client thread is locked each time a call is made.
I suggest the reader to explore this option as a post-lab exercise. Finally, we would want to run our gRPC server on a Docker container. That is a very simple task to do. If we run again the client, we will see that the server was successfully started. If the reader want, you can also start the container directly by a image I created on Docker Hub for this lab, already built with the source code from our lab. To pull the image, just type the following:.
And so we concludes another journey on our great world of technology. I hope I could help the reader to understand what is gRPC and how it can be used to improve our capacity on high demanding API scenarios. Open Specifications Developer Center.
