-* GRPC_DISABLE_CHANNEL_CONNECTIVITY_WATCHER
- The channel connectivity watcher uses one extra thread to check the channel
- state every 500 ms on the client side. It can help reconnect disconnected
- client channels (mostly due to idleness), so that the next RPC on this channel
- won't fail. Set to 1 to turn off this watcher and save a thread. Please note
- this is a temporary work-around, it will be removed in the future once we have
- support for automatically reestablishing failed connections.
+* GRPC_CLIENT_CHANNEL_BACKUP_POLL_INTERVAL_MS
+ Default: 500
+ Declares the interval between two backup polls on client channels. These polls
+ are run in the timer thread so that gRPC can process connection failures while
+ there is no active polling thread. They help reconnect disconnected client
+ channels (mostly due to idleness), so that the next RPC on this channel won't
+ fail. Set to 0 to turn off the backup polls.
