How to set client default timeout

[soyking]

Please answer these questions before submitting your issue.

What version of gRPC are you using?

1.11.0-dev

What version of Go are you using (go version)?

go version go1.10 linux/amd64

What operating system (Linux, Windows, …) and version?

Linux

What did you do?

I tried to add default time out for rpc client to avoid use context.WithTimeout every time.

What did you expect to see?

Find an interface to set default timeout for rpc client.

What did you see instead?

Could not find any way to do that. The only thing could change client context timeout may be MethodConfig, but it seems that it is controlled by server side, right?

Hope to find a way to set client default timeout. Thanks.

This can be done using interceptors:
https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc#WithUnaryInterceptor
https://godoc.org/google.golang.org/grpc#WithStreamInterceptor

In the interceptor, call context.WithTimeout to set the timeout, and then make the RPC with the new context.
