io.grpc.LoadBalancer<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the transport type to balance

@ExperimentalApi
 @ThreadSafe

handleResolvedAddresses

public void handleResolvedAddresses(List<ResolvedServerInfo> servers,
                                    Attributes config)

Handles newly resolved addresses and service config from name resolution system.

servers - the resolved server addresses. Never empty.

config - extra configuration data from naming system.

handleNameResolutionError

public void handleNameResolutionError(Status error)

Handles an error from the name resolution system.

Parameters:

error - a non-OK status

handleTransportReady

public void handleTransportReady(EquivalentAddressGroup addressGroup)

Called when a transport is fully connected and ready to accept traffic.

handleTransportShutdown

public void handleTransportShutdown(EquivalentAddressGroup addressGroup,
                                    Status s)

Called when a transport is shutting down.
