/**
38
 * A pluggable component that receives resolved addresses from {@link NameResolver} and provides the
39
 * channel a usable subchannel when asked.
40
 *
41
 * <h3>Overview</h3>
42
 *
43
 * <p>A LoadBalancer typically implements three interfaces:
44
 * <ol>
45
 *   <li>{@link LoadBalancer} is the main interface.  All methods on it are invoked sequentially
46
 *       in the same <strong>synchronization context</strong> (see next section) as returned by
47
 *       {@link io.grpc.LoadBalancer.Helper#getSynchronizationContext}.  It receives the results
48
 *       from the {@link NameResolver}, updates of subchannels' connectivity states, and the
49
 *       channel's request for the LoadBalancer to shutdown.</li>
50
 *   <li>{@link SubchannelPicker SubchannelPicker} does the actual load-balancing work.  It selects
51
 *       a {@link Subchannel Subchannel} for each new RPC.</li>
52
 *   <li>{@link Factory Factory} creates a new {@link LoadBalancer} instance.
53
 * </ol>
54
 *
55
 * <p>{@link Helper Helper} is implemented by gRPC library and provided to {@link Factory
56
 * Factory}. It provides functionalities that a {@code LoadBalancer} implementation would typically
57
 * need.
58
 *
59
 * <h3>The Synchronization Context</h3>
60
 *
61
 * <p>All methods on the {@link LoadBalancer} interface are called from a Synchronization Context,
62
 * meaning they are serialized, thus the balancer implementation doesn't need to worry about
63
 * synchronization among them.  {@link io.grpc.LoadBalancer.Helper#getSynchronizationContext}
64
 * allows implementations to schedule tasks to be run in the same Synchronization Context, with or
65
 * without a delay, thus those tasks don't need to worry about synchronizing with the balancer
66
 * methods.
67
 * 
68
 * <p>However, the actual running thread may be the network thread, thus the following rules must be
69
 * followed to prevent blocking or even dead-locking in a network:
70
 *
71
 * <ol>
72
 *
73
 *   <li><strong>Never block in the Synchronization Context</strong>.  The callback methods must
74
 *   return quickly.  Examples or work that must be avoided: CPU-intensive calculation, waiting on
75
 *   synchronization primitives, blocking I/O, blocking RPCs, etc.</li>
76
 *
77
 *   <li><strong>Avoid calling into other components with lock held</strong>.  The Synchronization
78
 *   Context may be under a lock, e.g., the transport lock of OkHttp.  If your LoadBalancer holds a
79
 *   lock in a callback method (e.g., {@link #handleResolvedAddresses handleResolvedAddresses()})
80
 *   while calling into another method that also involves locks, be cautious of deadlock.  Generally
81
 *   you wouldn't need any locking in the LoadBalancer if you follow the canonical implementation
82
 *   pattern below.</li>
83
 *
84
 * </ol>
85
 *
86
 * <h3>The canonical implementation pattern</h3>
87
 *
88
 * <p>A {@link LoadBalancer} keeps states like the latest addresses from NameResolver, the
89
 * Subchannel(s) and their latest connectivity states.  These states are mutated within the
90
 * Synchronization Context,
91
 *
92
 * <p>A typical {@link SubchannelPicker SubchannelPicker} holds a snapshot of these states.  It may
93
 * have its own states, e.g., a picker from a round-robin load-balancer may keep a pointer to the
94
 * next Subchannel, which are typically mutated by multiple threads.  The picker should only mutate
95
 * its own state, and should not mutate or re-acquire the states of the LoadBalancer.  This way the
96
 * picker only needs to synchronize its own states, which is typically trivial to implement.
97
 *
98
 * <p>When the LoadBalancer states changes, e.g., Subchannels has become or stopped being READY, and
99
 * we want subsequent RPCs to use the latest list of READY Subchannels, LoadBalancer would create a
100
 * new picker, which holds a snapshot of the latest Subchannel list.  Refer to the javadoc of {@link
101
 * io.grpc.LoadBalancer.SubchannelStateListener#onSubchannelState onSubchannelState()} how to do
102
 * this properly.
103
 *
104
 * <p>No synchronization should be necessary between LoadBalancer and its pickers if you follow
105
 * the pattern above.  It may be possible to implement in a different way, but that would usually
106
 * result in more complicated threading.
107
 *

     * getInternalSubchannel()} must return the same object as the one returned by the original.
572
     * Otherwise the Channel cannot use it for the RPC.
573
     *
574
     * <p>When the RPC tries to use the return Subchannel, which is briefly after this method
575
     * returns, the state of the Subchannel will decide where the RPC would go:
576
     *
577
     * <ul>
578
     *   <li>READY: the RPC will proceed on this Subchannel.</li>
579
     *   <li>IDLE: the RPC will be buffered.  Subchannel will attempt to create connection.</li>
580
     *   <li>All other states: the RPC will be buffered.</li>
581
     * </ul>
582
     *
583
     * <p><strong>All buffered RPCs will stay buffered</strong> until the next call of {@link
584
     * Helper#updateBalancingState Helper.updateBalancingState()}, which will trigger a new picking
585
     * process.
586
     *
587
     * <p>Note that Subchannel's state may change at the same time the picker is making the
588
     * decision, which means the decision may be made with (to-be) outdated information.  For
589
     * example, a picker may return a Subchannel known to be READY, but it has become IDLE when is
590
     * about to be used by the RPC, which makes the RPC to be buffered.  The LoadBalancer will soon
591
     * learn about the Subchannels' transition from READY to IDLE, create a new picker and allow the
592
     * RPC to use another READY transport if there is any.
593
     *
594
     * <p>You will want to avoid running into a situation where there are READY Subchannels out
595
     * there but some RPCs are still buffered for longer than a brief time.
596
     * <ul>
597
     *   <li>This can happen if you return Subchannels with states other than READY and IDLE.  For
598
     *       example, suppose you round-robin on 2 Subchannels, in READY and CONNECTING states
599
     *       respectively.  If the picker ignores the state and pick them equally, 50% of RPCs will
600
     *       be stuck in buffered state until both Subchannels are READY.</li>
601
     *   <li>This can also happen if you don't create a new picker at key state changes of
602
     *       Subchannels.  Take the above round-robin example again.  Suppose you do pick only READY
603
     *       and IDLE Subchannels, and initially both Subchannels are READY.  Now one becomes IDLE,
604
     *       then CONNECTING and stays CONNECTING for a long time.  If you don't create a new picker
605
     *       in response to the CONNECTING state to exclude that Subchannel, 50% of RPCs will hit it
606
     *       and be buffered even though the other Subchannel is READY.</li>
607
     * </ul>
608
     *
609
     * <p>In order to prevent unnecessary delay of RPCs, the rules of thumb are:
610
     * <ol>
611
     *   <li>The picker should only pick Subchannels that are known as READY or IDLE.  Whether to
612
     *       pick IDLE Subchannels depends on whether you want Subchannels to connect on-demand or
613
     *       actively:
614
     *       <ul>
615
     *         <li>If you want connect-on-demand, include IDLE Subchannels in your pick results,
616
     *             because when an RPC tries to use an IDLE Subchannel, the Subchannel will try to
617
     *             connect.</li>
618
     *         <li>If you want Subchannels to be always connected even when there is no RPC, you
619
     *             would call {@link Subchannel#requestConnection Subchannel.requestConnection()}
620
     *             whenever the Subchannel has transitioned to IDLE, then you don't need to include
621
     *             IDLE Subchannels in your pick results.</li>
622
     *       </ul></li>
623
     *   <li>Always create a new picker and call {@link Helper#updateBalancingState
624
     *       Helper.updateBalancingState()} whenever {@link #handleSubchannelState
625
     *       handleSubchannelState()} is called, unless the new state is SHUTDOWN. See
