gRPC 1 CANCELLED vs 14 UNAVAILABLE
Both gRPC 1 (CANCELLED) and 14 (UNAVAILABLE) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 1 indicates that the operation was cancelled, typically by the caller. Meanwhile, 14 means that the service is currently unavailable. This is most likely a transient condition, which can be corrected by retrying with a backoff.
Description
The operation was cancelled, typically by the caller.
When You See It
The client explicitly cancelled the RPC, or a deadline or context cancellation propagated to the server before it could finish processing.
How to Fix
If unexpected, check whether the client is setting too-short deadlines or if cancellation is being triggered inadvertently in your call chain.
Description
The service is currently unavailable. This is most likely a transient condition, which can be corrected by retrying with a backoff.
When You See It
The server is overloaded, shutting down, or a network partition occurred. This is the most common code to retry on, as it's explicitly transient.
How to Fix
Retry with exponential backoff. If persistent, check the server health, load balancer configuration, and network connectivity between client and server.
Key Differences
gRPC 1: The operation was cancelled, typically by the caller.
gRPC 14: The service is currently unavailable. This is most likely a transient condition, which can be corrected by retrying with a backoff.
You encounter 1 when the client explicitly cancelled the RPC, or a deadline or context cancellation propagated to the server before it could finish processing.
You encounter 14 when the server is overloaded, shutting down, or a network partition occurred. This is the most common code to retry on, as it's explicitly transient.
When to Use Which
For 1 (CANCELLED): If unexpected, check whether the client is setting too-short deadlines or if cancellation is being triggered inadvertently in your call chain. For 14 (UNAVAILABLE): Retry with exponential backoff. If persistent, check the server health, load balancer configuration, and network connectivity between client and server.
