-/**
- * <p>Abstract interface for an RPC channel. An {@code RpcChannel} represents a
- * communication line to a {@link Service} which can be used to call that
- * {@link Service}'s methods. The {@link Service} may be running on another
- * machine. Normally, you should not call an {@code RpcChannel} directly, but
- * instead construct a stub {@link Service} wrapping it. Example:
- *
- * <pre>
- * RpcChannel channel = rpcImpl.newChannel("remotehost.example.com:1234");
- * RpcController controller = rpcImpl.newController();
- * MyService service = MyService.newStub(channel);
- * service.myMethod(controller, request, callback);
- * </pre>
- *
- * <p>Starting with version 2.3.0, RPC implementations should not try to build
- * on this, but should instead provide code generator plugins which generate
- * code specific to the particular RPC implementation. This way the generated
- * code can be more appropriate for the implementation in use and can avoid
- * unnecessary layers of indirection.

- * request may be of any type as long as
- * {@code request.getDescriptor() == method.getInputType()}.
- * The response passed to the callback will be of the same type as
- * {@code responsePrototype} (which must have
- * {@code getDescriptor() == method.getOutputType()}).
