// The gRPC protocol is an RPC protocol on top of HTTP2.
//
// While the most common type of RPC receives only one request message and
// returns only one response message, the protocol also supports RPCs that
// return multiple individual messages in a streaming fashion, RPCs that
// accept a stream of request messages, or RPCs with both streaming requests
// and responses.
//
// Conceptually, each gRPC call consists of a bidirectional stream of binary
// messages, with RPCs of the "non-streaming type" sending only one message in
// the corresponding direction (the protocol doesn't make any distinction).
//
// Each RPC uses a different HTTP2 stream, and thus multiple simultaneous RPCs
// can be multiplexed transparently on the same TCP connection.
@interface GRPCCall : NSObject<GRXWriter>

// These HTTP2 headers will be passed to the server as part of this call. Each
// HTTP2 header is a name-value pair with string names and either string or binary values.
// The passed dictionary has to use NSString keys, corresponding to the header names. The
// value associated to each can be a NSString object or a NSData object. E.g.:
//
// call.requestMetadata = @{
//     @"Authorization": @"Bearer ...",
//     @"SomeBinaryHeader": someData
// };
//
// After the call is started, modifying this won't have any effect.
@property(nonatomic, readwrite) NSMutableDictionary *requestMetadata;

// This isn't populated until the first event is delivered to the handler.
@property(atomic, readonly) NSDictionary *responseMetadata;

// The request writer has to write NSData objects into the provided Writeable. The server will
// receive each of those separately and in order.
// A gRPC call might not complete until the request writer finishes. On the other hand, the
// request finishing doesn't necessarily make the call to finish, as the server might continue
// sending messages to the response side of the call indefinitely (depending on the semantics of
// the specific remote method called).
// To finish a call right away, invoke cancel.
