// HDS is Health Discovery Service. It compliments Envoy’s health checking
// service by designating this Envoy to be a healthchecker for a subset of hosts
// in the cluster. The status of these health checks will be reported to the
// management server, where it can be aggregated etc and redistributed back to
// Envoy through EDS.
service HealthDiscoveryService {
  // 1. Envoy starts up and if its can_healthcheck option in the static
  //    bootstrap config is enabled, sends HealthCheckRequest to the management
  //    server. It supplies its capabilities (which protocol it can health check
  //    with, what zone it resides in, etc.).
  // 2. In response to (1), the management server designates this Envoy as a
  //    healthchecker to health check a subset of all upstream hosts for a given
  //    cluster (for example upstream Host 1 and Host 2). It streams
  //    HealthCheckSpecifier messages with cluster related configuration for all
  //    clusters this Envoy is designated to health check. Subsequent
  //    HealthCheckSpecifier message will be sent on changes to:
  //    a. Endpoints to health checks
  //    b. Per cluster configuration change
  // 3. Envoy creates a health probe based on the HealthCheck config and sends
  //    it to endpoint(ip:port) of Host 1 and 2. Based on the HealthCheck
  //    configuration Envoy waits upon the arrival of the probe response and
  //    looks at the content of the response to decide whether the endpoint is
  //    healthy or not. If a response hasn’t been received within the timeout
  //    interval, the endpoint health status is considered TIMEOUT.
  // 4. Envoy reports results back in an EndpointHealthResponse message.
  //    Envoy streams responses as often as the interval configured by the
  //    management server in HealthCheckSpecifier.
  // 5. The management Server collects health statuses for all endpoints in the
  //    cluster (for all clusters) and uses this information to construct
  //    EndpointDiscoveryResponse messages.
  // 6. Once Envoy has a list of upstream endpoints to send traffic to, it load
  //    balances traffic to them without additional health checking. It may
  //    use inline healthcheck (i.e. consider endpoint UNHEALTHY if connection
  //    failed to a particular endpoint to account for health status propagation
  //    delay between HDS and EDS).
  // By default, can_healthcheck is true. If can_healthcheck is false, Cluster
  // configuration may not contain HealthCheck message.
  // TODO(htuch): How is can_healthcheck communicated to CDS to ensure the above
  // invariant?
  // TODO(htuch): Add @amb67's diagram.
