This is not a godoc-compliant comment.
// <method> initiates a new streaming RPC to the server, yadda yadda.However, the type that owns this method is not exported (unexport(servName) below). This should be documented in the interface instead, or else it will never be seen. Note that those include the comments from the proto file, so we'll have to be smart about how to keep pulling those in but also document the Go implementation as well.

@dfawley PTAL - moved to interface, use pointer instead of dupe doc |

Nit: "closing/ending streaming RPCs".
|
@dsnet Could you describe what the problem with travis is? It seems to be stuck on some commit? |
|
@jadekler I'm pretty sure you need to regenerate these pb.go files and commit them along with this PR, as you've changed how they are generated. |

Aha - thanks, done. |

According to https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#commentary, this should probably be written as:
// TestClient is the client API for the Test service.
//
// For semantics around resource cleanup, please refer to
// https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc#ClientConn.NewStream.There was a problem hiding this comment.
Also, shouldn't a similar comment be on the server equivalent of this?

Done
And, although I think you're right, the server's case + recommendations are different and should probably live in a different PR.

We should put a newline before the deprecation comment:
g.P("\n"+deprecationComment)

Changes LGTM, but you'll need to regenerate the protos again. |
|
Shoot, good point. Done. |
