Description
"gRPC is a modern open source high performance RPC framework that can run in any environment. It can efficiently connect services in and across data centers with pluggable support for load balancing, tracing, health checking and authentication. It is also applicable in last mile of distributed computing to connect devices, mobile applications and browsers to backend services." [1]
It would be useful to be able to interact with gRPC services in NiFi. A first step would be to have a processor that can take a .proto file or files and then use the generated code to talk to a gRPC server. Having a Site-To-Site gRPC implementation could also be useful though as it should be very easy to port to any of the supported platforms. [2]
This should allow us to interact with Tensor Flow among other things.
