## Methods

### equals(Object obj)

    public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares the specified object with this message for equality. Returns `true` if the given
object is a message of the same type (as defined by `getDescriptorForType()`) and has
identical values for all of its fields. Subclasses must implement this; inheriting `
Object.equals()` is incorrect.

| **Parameter** ||
|---|---|
| **Name** | **Description** |
| `obj` | `https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/Object.html` |

| **Returns** ||
|---|---|
| **Type** | **Description** |
| `https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/datatypes.html` |   |

**Overrides** [AbstractMessage.equals(Object other)](https://docs.cloud.google.com/java/docs/reference/protobuf/latest/com.google.protobuf.AbstractMessage#com_google_protobuf_AbstractMessage_equals_java_lang_Object_)

### getClientStreaming()

    public boolean getClientStreaming()

`optional bool client_streaming = 5 [default = false];`

| **Returns** ||
|---|---|
| **Type** | **Description** |
| `https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/datatypes.html` | The clientStreaming. |

### getDefaultInstanceForType()

    public DescriptorProtos.MethodDescriptorProto getDefaultInstanceForType()

Get an instance of the type with no fields set. Because no fields are set, all getters for
singular fields will return default values and repeated fields will appear empty. This may or
may not be a singleton. This differs from the `getDefaultInstance()` method of generated
message classes in that this method is an abstract method of the `MessageLite` interface
whereas `getDefaultInstance()` is a static method of a specific class. They return the
same thing.

| **Returns** ||
|---|---|

### getInputTypeBytes()

    public ByteString getInputTypeBytes()

Input and output type names. These are resolved in the same way as
