--------------------------------------
Summary: Return CompletableFuture from KafkaProducer.send
Key: KAFKA-12227
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-12227
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Chia-Ping Tsai
Producer and KafkaProducer return a java.util.concurrent.Future from their send
methods. This makes it challenging to write asynchronous non-blocking code
given Future's limited interface. Since Kafka now requires Java 8, we now have
the option of using CompletionStage and/or CompletableFuture that were
introduced to solve this issue. It's worth noting that the Kafka AdminClient
solved this issue by using org.apache.kafka.common.KafkaFuture as Java 7
support was still required then.
