Is grpcio-tools a necessary non-dev dependency?

[tjni]

Hello!

I noticed that grpcio-tools is listed as both a dev and non-dev dependency. Is it needed in non-dev? (If not, I'd like to remove it from the dependency tree and can submit a PR.)

it is necessary

we need to check

Thank you for the consideration! On disk, the shared object that it brings in is quite large, hence why I noticed it.

and for legacy systems with no grpcio-tools.whl nor C build toolchains, this dependency will break the installation of qdrant-client.

Hi @generall, have you had any time to check?

hey @tjni

grpcio-tools is not a required non-dev dependency, but protobuf is
we'll try to replace grpcio-tools with just protobuf
