* <p>Abstract interface for an RPC channel. An {@code RpcChannel} represents a
* communication line to a {@link Service} which can be used to call that
* {@link Service}'s methods. The {@link Service} may be running on another
* machine. Normally, you should not call an {@code RpcChannel} directly, but
* instead construct a stub {@link Service} wrapping it. Example:
*
* <pre>
* RpcChannel channel = rpcImpl.newChannel("remotehost.example.com:1234");
* RpcController controller = rpcImpl.newController();
* MyService service = MyService.newStub(channel);
* service.myMethod(controller, request, callback);
* </pre>

* Call the given method of the remote service. This method is similar to
* {@code Service.callMethod()} with one important difference: the caller
* decides the types of the {@code Message} objects, not the callee. The
* request may be of any type as long as
* {@code request.getDescriptor() == method.getInputType()}.
* The response passed to the callback will be of the same type as
* {@code responsePrototype} (which must have
* {@code getDescriptor() == method.getOutputType()}).
