//! # razor-stream
//!
//! This crate provides a low-level streaming interface for `razor-rpc`.
//! It is used for stream processing and is part of the modular design of `razor-rpc`.
//!
//! If you are looking for a high-level remote API call interface, use [`razor-rpc`](https://docs.rs/razor-rpc) instead.
//!
//! ## Components
//!
//! `razor-rpc` is designed to be modular and pluggable. It is a collection of crates that provide different functionalities:
//!
//! - [`razor-rpc-codec`](https://docs.rs/razor-rpc-codec): Provides codecs for serialization, such as `msgpack`.
//! - Async runtime support by [`orb`](https://docs.rs/orb):
//!   - [`orb-tokio`](https://docs.rs/orb-tokio): A runtime adapter for the `tokio` runtime.
//!   - [`orb-smol`](https://docs.rs/orb-smol): A runtime adapter for the `smol` runtime.
//! - Transports can be implemented with a raw socket, without the overhead of the HTTP protocol:
//!   - [`razor-rpc-tcp`](https://docs.rs/razor-rpc-tcp): A TCP transport implementation.
//!
//! For Rpc tasks, we choose `Debug` instead of `Display` when logging, recommend use
//! [format-attr](https://docs.rs/format-attr) to customized your message format.
//!
//! ## The Design
//!
//! Our implementation is designed to optimize throughput and lower
//! CPU consumption for high-performance services.
//!
//! Each connection is a full-duplex, multiplexed stream.
//! There's a `seq` ID assigned to a packet to track
//! a request and response. The timeout of a packet is checked in batches every second.
//! We utilize the [crossfire](https://docs.rs/crossfire) channel for parallelizing the work with
//! coroutines.
//!
//! With an [ClientStream](crate::client::stream::ClientStream), the request packets sent in sequence,
//! and wait with a sliding window throttler controlling the number of in-flight packets.
//! An internal timer then registers the request through a channel, and when the response
//! is received, it can optionally notify the user through a user-defined channel or another mechanism.
//!
//! [ConnPool](crate::client::ConnPool) and [FailoverPool](crate::client::FailoverPool) are provided on top of `ClientStream` for user.
//!
//! In an [RpcServer](crate::server::RpcServer), for each connection, there is one coroutine to read requests and one
//! coroutine to write responses. Requests can be dispatched with a user-defined
//! [Dispatch](crate::server::dispatch::Dispatch) trait implementation.
//!
//! Responses are received through a channel wrapped in [RespNoti](crate::server::task::RespNoti).
//!
//! ## Protocol
//!
//! The details are described in [crate::proto].
//!
//! Also see the [error module](crate::error) for details on built-in error types and custom error type
//! examples.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! You can refer to the [test case](https://github.com/NaturalIO/razor-rpc/blob/master/test-suite/src/stream/) for example.
