Hi,
Can you help me understand how did you overcome this issue.  I too have a 
client that invokes streaming rpc and it gets blocked in ClientReader::Read.
I cant set a timeout as it would mean the rpc needs to be invoked again 
after the timeout.

I need a way to reestablish the server connection if client gets blocked in 
ClientReader::Read.  I cannot read the connection state as the call is 
blocked.
However Read fails and gets unblocked if
- I kill the server process or unplug the connection between client and 
server
But the client gets blocked indefinitely when the server is 
shutdown/powered off.

My code goes like this....
ClientContext context;
std::unique_ptr<Consumer::Stub> stub_ = Consumer::NewStub(channel);
ThreadEventReader = stub_->GetDataStream(&context, Filter);  //rpc call
// blocked read - until stream closed
while (ThreadEventReader->Read(&StreamedData))
{
                cout << "UpdateStream: " << StreamedData.displayvalue() << 
endl;
}
