This is not yet implementation, just API and tests to be filled with implementation in next CLs, tracked by: https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/issues/12652 We propose here 3 packages: - clientv3/naming/endpoints -> That is abstraction layer over etcd that allows to write, read & watch Endpoints information. It's independent from GRPC API. It hides the storage details. - clientv3/naming/endpoints/internal -> That contains the grpc's compatible Update class to preserve the internal JSON mashalling format. - clientv3/naming/resolver -> That implements the GRPC resolver API, such that etcd can be used for connection.Dial in grpc. Please see the grpc_naming.md document changes & grpcproxy/cluster.go new integration, to see how the new abstractions work.

gRPC naming and discovery | 3500 | go-grpc: for resolving gRPC endpoints with an etcd backend |
etcd provides a gRPC resolver to support an alternative name system that fetches endpoints from etcd for discovering gRPC services. The underlying mechanism is based on watching updates to keys prefixed with the service name.
Using etcd discovery with go-grpc
The etcd client provides a gRPC resolver for resolving gRPC endpoints with an etcd backend. The resolver is initialized with an etcd client:
import (
"go.etcd.io/etcd/v3/clientv3"
resolver "go.etcd.io/etcd/v3/clientv3/naming/resolver"
"google.golang.org/grpc"
)
cli, cerr := clientv3.NewFromURL("http://localhost:2379")
etcdResolver, err := resolver.NewBuilder(clus.RandClient());
conn, gerr := grpc.Dial("etcd://foo/bar/my-service", grpc.WithResolvers(etcdResolver))
Managing service endpoints
The etcd resolver treats all keys under the prefix of the resolution target following a "/" (e.g., "foo/bar/my-service/")
with JSON-encoded (historically go-grpc naming.Update
) values as potential service endpoints.
Endpoints are added to the service by creating new keys and removed from the service by deleting keys.
Adding an endpoint
New endpoints can be added to the service through etcdctl
:
ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl put foo/bar/my-service/1.2.3.4 '{"Addr":"1.2.3.4","Metadata":"..."}'
The etcd client's endpoints.Manager
method can also register new endpoints with a key matching the Addr
:
em := endpoints.NewManager(client, "foo/bar/my-service")
err := em.AddEndpoint(context.TODO(),"foo/bar/my-service/e1", endpoints.Endpoint{Addr:"1.2.3.4"});
Deleting an endpoint
Hosts can be deleted from the service through etcdctl
:
ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl del foo/bar/my-service/1.2.3.4
The etcd client's endpoints.Manager
method also supports deleting endpoints:
em := endpoints.NewManager(client, "foo/bar/my-service")
err := em.DeleteEndpoint(context.TODO(), "foo/bar/my-service/e1");
Registering an endpoint with a lease
Registering an endpoint with a lease ensures that if the host can't maintain a keepalive heartbeat (e.g., its machine fails), it will be removed from the service:
lease=`ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl lease grant 5 | cut -f2 -d' '`
ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl put --lease=$lease my-service/1.2.3.4 '{"Addr":"1.2.3.4","Metadata":"..."}'
ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl lease keep-alive $lease
In the golang:
em := endpoints.NewManager(client, "foo/bar/my-service")
err := endpoints.AddEndpoint(context.TODO(), "foo/bar/my-service/e1", endpoints.Endpoint{Addr:"1.2.3.4"});
Atomically updating endpoints
If it's desired to modify multiple endpoints in a single transaction, endpoints.Manager
can be used directly:
em := endpoints.NewManager(c, "foo")
err := em.Update(context.TODO(), []*endpoints.UpdateWithOpts{
endpoints.NewDeleteUpdateOpts("foo/bar/my-service/e1", endpoints.Endpoint{Addr: "1.2.3.4"}),
endpoints.NewAddUpdateOpts("foo/bar/my-service/e1", endpoints.Endpoint{Addr: "1.2.3.14"})})
