### custom_lb
This test verifies that a custom load balancer policy can be configured in the
client. It also verifies that when given a list of policies the client can
ignore a bad one and try the next one on the list until it finds a good one.
Client parameters:
1. --num_channels=1
2. --qps=100
Load balancer configuration:
One MIG with a single backend.
The `backendService` will have the following `localityLbPolicies` entry:
```json
[
{
"customPolicy": {
"name": "test.ThisLoadBalancerDoesNotExist",
"data": "{ \"foo\": \"bar\" }"
}
},
{
"customPolicy": {
"name": "test.RpcBehaviorLoadBalancer",
"data": "{ \"rpcBehavior\": \"error-code-15\" }"
}
}
]
```
The client **should not** implement the `test.ThisLoadBalancerDoesNotExist`, but
it **should** implement `test.RpcBehaviorLoadBalancer`. The
`RpcBehaviorLoadBalancer` implementation should set the rpcBehavior request
header based on the configuration it is provided. The `rpcBehavior` field value
in the config should be used as the header value.
Assert:
1. The first custom policy is ignored as the client does not have an
implementation for it.
2. The second policy, that **is** implemented by the client, has been applied
by the client. This can be asserted by confirming that each request has
failed with the configured error code 15 (DATA_LOSS). We should get this error
because the test server knows to look for the `rpcBehavior` header and fail
a request with a provided error code.
Note that while this test is for load balancing, we can get by with a single
backend as our test load balancer does not perform any actual load balancing,
instead only applying the `rpcBehavior` header to each request.
