This is a Orleans application in a co-hosted model (ASP.NET - Web API and Orleans). I am able to inject IGrainFactory or IClusterClient into a webapi controller. Both seem to get the work fine.
I want to understand, when to use IGrainFactory and when to use IClusterClient?
IClusterClient is meant to be used from the client which is accessing the silo cluster. In your case, it is the webapi controller. IGrainFactory is used in a service class within a silo to get an instance of a Grain.
Maybe the article below can shed some light. https://github.com/dotnet/orleans/issues/988
