Unexpected behavior caused by GRPC with Arrow

Ray Core
1

This is a cautionary note for people who aim to run things with GRPC inside of a Ray actor.

Turns out GRPC has some behaviors which makes using different things using GRPC in the same process challenging.

That’s very interesting. Maybe we can add this as part of the documentation as a callout.

What were you trying to do @marsupialtail ?

I was trying to run an Arrow Flight Server inside of a ray actor.

@marsupialtail we created an issue to track it: [Core] Arrow Flight Server doesn't work with Ray Actors · Issue #25774 · ray-project/ray · GitHub ; we will also add this at ray wiki as a gotcha.
