Is dynamic routing currently supported in grpc-go or how can i achieve it？ about grpc-go

[arvindbr8]

The best way to go about this would be to use xDS and a management server that has the configuration as per the "rules". You could also achieve this using a Custom Resolver - but it would be static and a client upgrade would be in order to change the routing logic. Using a xDS management server gives you the dynamic Out of Band routing you might be looking for.

See: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-go/tree/master/examples/features/xds

Thanks for your suggestion!
Follow your suggestions, I deployed a grpc server and istio in k8s, and a grpc client will access the grpc server in my mac. However, I found that the client seemed to have an exception in parsing lds (The specific method of printing logs is in xds/xdsclient/authority.go::decodeAllResources). The result of this is that if the xds:/// prefix is ​​used, the call will time out
The grpc-go version is 1.62.x, and the istio version is 1.20.3. I would like to ask if we have any restrictions on the istio version?

I found that this code caused that the lds data returned by istio can not be parsed. May I ask why it is designed like this? Is it necessary to optimize here, because it is normal for lds to carry listener filter info now?
path: xds/internal/xdsclient/xdsresource/unmarshal_lds.go::processServerSideListener

func processServerSideListener(lis *v3listenerpb.Listener) (*ListenerUpdate, error) {
	if n := len(lis.ListenerFilters); n != 0 {
		return nil, fmt.Errorf("unsupported field 'listener_filters' contains %d entries", n)
	}
        ...

I tried many ways, even modified the code, but still couldn't get through the xds client. Regarding the sample given, is there a bootstrap.json file that can be used for my reference?

[arvindbr8]

@EndlessSeeker -

From the logs, the code path that was likely invoked if you are using a xDS enabled gRPC server. And based on your initial question I dont think this is what you need. You would need the client to be using xDS.

Also regarding this, that particular scenario is called out in in gRFC A36 - xDS for servers, and talks about NACKing when listener filters are present. See: https://github.com/grpc/proposal/blob/ea5552587c5b93e978c4bcb695e2210ff97ccbf8/A36-xds-for-servers.md?plain=1#L160

yes, i need use xDS in client scenarios. Maybe I'm using it incorrectly, but I didn't find the correct way to use it...It would be nice if the xds example has the instruction about bootstrap file. I guess my bootstrap is not written correctly.
