Thanks; so my new code is

  logger.info("Create a Source based on a simple Iterable[T]")
  val source = Source(1 to 10)
    
  logger.info("create redundant flow1 because of Akka Streams API design 
limitations")
  val flow1 = Flow[Int].map(int => int)
  
  logger.info("Create sink1 that can be connected to the Source" )
  //val sink1 = Sink.foreach { int: Int => logger.info("sink1: " + int) } 
  val sink1 = Sink.foreach{ int: Int => logger.info("sink1: " + int) } 
   
  logger.info("Connect the Source to the sink1, obtaining a runnableFlow1")
  //val runnableFlow1: RunnableFlow[Unit] = source.to(sink1)
  val runnableFlow1 = (source via flow1).toMat(sink1)(Keep.right)

  logger.info("Create flowMaterializer1")
  val flowMaterializer1 = ActorFlowMaterializer()
    
  logger.info("Materialize runnableFlow1 as materializedFlow1")
  val materializedFlow1 = runnableFlow1.run()(flowMaterializer1)

  materializedFlow1.onComplete(result => system.shutdown())

I wish this did not have to be so complicated. While I understand this is 
still experimental, I hope some effort goes into simplifying the API 
design. In particular, in my original code, I don't understand why 
materializedFlow1 is Unit and not Future[Unit]. Also, why do explicitly 
need to create the Flow, why can't the FlowMaterializer do that implicitly 
if it needs to?

Sadly Keep is not defined in 
http://doc.akka.io/api/akka-stream-and-http-experimental/0.10/#akka.stream.scaladsl.package
 
so there is no way to know what it does.

Also, is there some overriding reason that the method .toMat() cannot 
simply be called .toMaterializer()?
