*Please don't double post your questions in more locations, we are monitoring both channels and the time spent de-duplicating questions can is better spent answering more user questions.*
### What version of gRPC and what language are you using?
### What operating system (Linux, Windows, …) and version?
### What runtime / compiler are you using (e.g. python version or version of gcc)
### What did you do?
If possible, provide a recipe for reproducing the error. Try being specific and include code snippets if helpful.
### What did you expect to see?
### What did you see instead?
Make sure you include information that can help us debug (full error message, exception listing, stack trace, logs).
### Anything else we should know about your project / environment?

For requests, **EOS** (end-of-stream) is indicated by the presence of the END_STREAM flag on the last received DATA frame. In scenarios where the **Request** stream needs to be closed but no data remains to be sent implementations MUST send an empty DATA frame with this flag set.
While the protocol does not require a user-agent to function it is recommended that clients provide a structured user-agent string that provides a basic description of the calling library, version & platform to facilitate issue diagnosis in heterogeneous environments. The following structure is recommended to library developers

#####Stream Identification
#####Stream Identification
All GRPC calls need to specify an internal ID. We will use HTTP2 stream-ids as call identifiers in this scheme. NOTE: These id’s are contextual to an open HTTP2 session and will not be unique within a given process that is handling more than one HTTP2 session nor can they be used as GUIDs.
#####Data Frames
#####Data Frames
DATA frame boundaries have no relation to **Length-Prefixed-Message** boundaries and implementations should make no assumptions about their alignment.

#####Security
#####Security
The HTTP2 specification mandates the use of TLS 1.2 or higher when TLS is used with HTTP2. It also places some additional constraints on the allowed ciphers in deployments to avoid known-problems as well as requiring SNI support. It is also expected that HTTP2 will be used in conjunction with proprietary transport security mechanisms about which the specification can make no meaningful recommendations.
#####Connection Management
######GOAWAY Frame
#####Connection Management
######GOAWAY Frame
Sent by servers to clients to indicate that they will no longer accept any new streams on the associated connections. This frame includes the id of the last successfully accepted stream by the server. Clients should consider any stream initiated after the last successfully accepted stream as UNAVAILABLE and retry the call elsewhere. Clients are free to continue working with the already accepted streams until they complete or the connection is terminated.
Servers should send GOAWAY before terminating a connection to reliably inform clients which work has been accepted by the server and is being executed.
######PING Frame
######PING Frame
Both clients and servers can send a PING frame that the peer must respond to by precisely echoing what they received. This is used to assert that the connection is still live as well as providing a means to estimate end-to-end latency. If a server initiated PING does not receive a response within the deadline expected by the runtime all outstanding calls on the server will be closed with a CANCELLED status. An expired client initiated PING will cause all calls to be closed with an UNAVAILABLE status. Note that the frequency of PINGs is highly dependent on the network environment, implementations are free to adjust PING frequency based on network and application requirements.
######Connection failure
######Connection failure
If a detectable connection failure occurs on the client all calls will be closed with an UNAVAILABLE status. For servers open calls will be closed with a CANCELLED status.
The log format is described in [this proto file](src/proto/grpc/binary_log/v1alpha/log.proto). It is intended that multiple parts of the call will be logged in separate files, and then correlated by analysis tools using the rpc\_id.

WARNING: While there is a public API that allows anyone to write their own custom interceptor, please think twice before using it.
There are legitimate uses for custom interceptors but you should keep in mind that as auth interceptors essentially decide which RPCs are authenticated and which are not, their code is very sensitive from the security perspective and getting things wrong might have serious consequences. If unsure, we strongly recommend to rely on official & proven interceptors that come with gRPC.

gRPC uses a set of well defined status codes as part of the RPC API. All RPCs started at a client return a `status` object composed of an integer `code` and a string `message`. The server-side can choose the status it returns for a given RPC.

RPCs started at a client return a `status` object composed of an integer
`code` and a string `message`. The server-side can choose the status it
returns for a given RPC.
The gRPC client and server-side implementations may also generate and return `status` on their own when errors happen.
Only a subset of the pre-defined status codes are generated by the gRPC libraries. The following table lists these codes and summarizes the situations in which they are generated, either by the client or the server-side library implementation.
The gRPC client and server-side implementations may also generate and
return `status` on their own when errors happen. Only a subset of
the pre-defined status codes are generated by the gRPC libraries. This
allows applications to be sure that any other code it sees was actually
returned by the application (although it is also possible for the
server-side to return one of the codes generated by the gRPC libraries).
