How to Handle kRPC Client Reconnection when Server goes down?

[SinonCute]

I’m working with a kRPC client and server in a distributed setup, and I’m facing challenges with automatic reconnection when the server goes down (e.g., during restarts or failures). The client disconnects and does not retry or reconnect to the server automatically.

Questions:

• Is there a built-in mechanism in kRPC or Ktor for client reconnection when the server goes down or restarts?

Hi! No, there is no such mechanism now

[SinonCute]

Is there any way I can check and reconnect except wait for exception?

[Mr3zee]

I'm afraid not

what about a long lived MutableSharedFlow? once the flow closes the connection is closed
