Hi,

If I want to define a synchronous entry method in Chares, the return value must be a message. For example, A chare wants some information from B chare, then A calls sync entry method of B which returns a message. Before this communication happens, A must know the size of the message that B wants to return so A must send a message for requesting the size of returning message which might be another sync entry method of B. Must we define the communication pattern like that if we want to use sync entry method? The implementation is somehow similar to MPI communication pattern. Thanks a lot.
