If you are using gRPCLB <https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/618a3f561d4a93f263cca23abad086ed8f4d5e86/doc/load-balancing.md>, please read on:
gRPC team is working on evolving the current gRPCLB functionality. We will be moving away from our custom load balancing protocol and adopting xDS Protocol <https://github.com/envoyproxy/data-plane-api/blob/master/XDS_PROTOCOL.md> based on Envoy xDS API <https://github.com/envoyproxy/data-plane-api/blob/master/API_OVERVIEW.md>. This will allow interoperability with open source control planes that support the xDS API, such as Istio Pilot <https://istio.io/docs/concepts/traffic-management/>, go-control-plane <https://github.com/envoyproxy/go-control-plane> and java-control-plane <https://github.com/envoyproxy/java-control-plane>. Other improvements include a more flexible and improved load balancing policy configuration <https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/master/A24-lb-policy-config.md> and load reporting based on LRS <https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/blob/master/api/envoy/service/load_stats/v2/lrs.proto> (load reporting service). The client-side implementation of xDS load balancing plugin will not be compatible with the current gRPCLB protocol. Hence, the current gRPCLB implementation can be considered deprecated. We are actively working on the implementation of the new protocol. Expect to see a lot of progress in the coming quarters, including a gRFC on the new design. If you are relying on the current implementation in any way, please comment here so we can figure out an appropriate time to remove it after the new implementation is ready. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "grpc.io" group.
