----------------------------------------
Hi [~zxu], I am also not sure this issue needs fixing. Dropping some requests
during in the rare event of a queue swap looks harmless. I assume clients will
experience timeout exceptions and retry.

> It looked like the elements in the queue are dropped due to
> {{CallQueueManager#swapQueue}}
> Looked at the implementation of {{CallQueueManager#swapQueue}}, there is a
> possibility that the elements in the queue are dropped. If the queue is full,
> the calling thread for {{CallQueueManager#put}} is blocked for long time. It
> may put the element into the old queue after queue in {{takeRef}} is changed
> by swapQueue, then this element in the old queue will be dropped.
