gRPC v1 and future of the pkg

[yordis]

Hi, @guisehn,

I am not sure whether you have upgraded to gRPC v1, which has been split into multiple packages. I was wondering what the future of conn_grpc will be after the upgrade.

Any thoughts on the topic?

We haven't migrated our own usage to gRPC 1.0 yet. Are you hitting any incompatibility with conn_grpc on the upgrade?

I'm aware they added some load balancing in the client, but it doesn't map 1:1 to what conn_grpc does (a pool of persistent HTTP/2 connections to a target).

If elixir-grpc/grpc#522 lands and proves solid, the likely path is to deprecate conn_grpc rather than keep a parallel pool implementation.

I didn't per, I ended up hand-writing my package, althou, I rather remove all that code, they are still things like use macro that I would like to keep that upstream rejected. But, I am not sure from your perspective if it is worth to try to keep the package going, or simply fix upstream the situation by now.
