A question about Grpc load balancing and long connections about grpc-spring HOT 3 OPEN

I think the default load balancing policy is round robin. You can overwrite that with the following config

Should we use a different default? 🤔

Should we use a different default? 🤔

Thank you, but if I rewrite the load balancing algorithm, what kind of load balancing algorithm can retain the advantages of Netty's long connection?

from grpc-spring.

Pick first is pretty close, but it will (by default) only ever pick the first server in the list, instead of a random one.
There now is an option to shuffle it first, but I'm not sure how to configure that.

Maybe copy the file and just enable it by default.
