## Compression with gRPC Python
|
|
|
|
gRPC offers lossless compression options in order to decrease the number of bits
|
|
transferred over the wire. Three levels of compression are available:
|
|
|
|
- `grpc.Compression.NoCompression` - No compression is applied to the payload. (default)
|
|
- `grpc.Compression.Deflate` - The "Deflate" algorithm is applied to the payload.
|
|
- `grpc.Compression.Gzip` - The Gzip algorithm is applied to the payload.
|
|
|
|
The default option on both clients and servers is `grpc.Compression.NoCompression`.
|
|
|
|
See [the gRPC Compression Spec](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/doc/compression.md)
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
### Client Side Compression
|
|
|
|
Compression may be set at two levels on the client side.
|
|
|
|
#### At the channel level
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
with grpc.insecure_channel('foo.bar:1234', compression=grpc.Compression.Gzip) as channel:
|
|
use_channel(channel)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### At the call level
|
|
|
|
Setting the compression method at the call level will override any settings on
|
|
the channel level.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
stub = helloworld_pb2_grpc.GreeterStub(channel)
|
|
response = stub.SayHello(helloworld_pb2.HelloRequest(name='you'),
|
|
compression=grpc.Compression.Deflate)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Server Side Compression
|
|
|
|
Additionally, compression may be set at two levels on the server side.
|
|
|
|
#### On the entire server
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
server = grpc.server(futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(),
|
|
compression=grpc.Compression.Gzip)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### For an individual RPC
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def SayHello(self, request, context):
|
|
context.set_compression(grpc.Compression.NoCompression)
|
|
return helloworld_pb2.HelloReply(message='Hello, %s!' % request.name)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Setting the compression method for an individual RPC will override any setting
|
|
supplied at server creation time.
