gRPC 5 NOT_FOUND vs 15 DATA_LOSS
Both gRPC 5 (NOT_FOUND) and 15 (DATA_LOSS) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 5 indicates that some requested entity was not found. For example, a file or directory that the RPC was supposed to operate on does not exist. Meanwhile, 15 means that unrecoverable data loss or corruption has occurred.

Quand vous le voyez
Critical data was lost or corrupted — for example, a checksum mismatch during transmission or an unrecoverable storage failure on the server.
