// DEPRECATED:  This module declares the abstract interfaces underlying proto2
// RPC services.  These are intented to be independent of any particular RPC
// implementation, so that proto2 services can be used on top of a variety
// of implementations.  Starting with version 2.3.0, RPC implementations should
// not try to build on these, 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.
//
//
// When you use the protocol compiler to compile a service definition, it
// generates two classes:  An abstract interface for the service (with
// methods matching the service definition) and a "stub" implementation.
// A stub is just a type-safe wrapper around an RpcChannel which emulates a
// local implementation of the service.
//
// For example, the service definition:
//   service MyService {
//     rpc Foo(MyRequest) returns(MyResponse);
//   }
// will generate abstract interface "MyService" and class "MyService::Stub".
// You could implement a MyService as follows:
//   class MyServiceImpl : public MyService {
//    public:
//     MyServiceImpl() {}
//     ~MyServiceImpl() {}
//
//     // implements MyService ---------------------------------------
//
//     void Foo(google::protobuf::RpcController* controller,
//              const MyRequest* request,
//              MyResponse* response,
//              Closure* done) {
//       // ... read request and fill in response ...
//       done->Run();
//     }
//   };
// You would then register an instance of MyServiceImpl with your RPC server
// implementation.  (How to do that depends on the implementation.)
//
// To call a remote MyServiceImpl, first you need an RpcChannel connected to it.
// How to construct a channel depends, again, on your RPC implementation.
// Here we use a hypothentical "MyRpcChannel" as an example:
//   MyRpcChannel channel("rpc:hostname:1234/myservice");
//   MyRpcController controller;
//   MyServiceImpl::Stub stub(&channel);
//   FooRequest request;
//   FooRespnose response;
//
//   // ... fill in request ...
//
//   stub.Foo(&controller, request, &response, NewCallback(HandleResponse));
//
// On Thread-Safety:
//
// Different RPC implementations may make different guarantees about what
// threads they may run callbacks on, and what threads the application is
// allowed to use to call the RPC system.  Portable software should be ready
// for callbacks to be called on any thread, but should not try to call the
// RPC system from any thread except for the ones on which it received the
// callbacks.  Realistically, though, simple software will probably want to
// use a single-threaded RPC system while high-end software will want to
// use multiple threads.  RPC implementations should provide multiple
// choices.
