Im happy to compromise to keep it mutable but move to an append style api. (as
in guava interables concat)
class Headers {
Headers append(Iterable<Header> headers);
}
I don’t think we’d want prepend, this would give the idea of guaranteed
ordering, when in actual fact we don’t provide that guarantee (.e.g one client
can put headerA, then headerB, but another could put headerB then headerA, this
shouldn’t cause issues), Also what if we changed to a hashmap for the internal
implementation, its just a bucket of entries no ordering. I think we just need
to provide an api to add/append headers.
This ok? If so ill update KIP to record this.
Cheers

The point about usability is fair. It's also reasonable to expect that
common use cases such as appending headers should be done efficiently.
Perhaps we could compromise with something like this?
class Headers {
Headers append(Iterable<Header> headers);
Headers prepend(Iterable<Header> headers);
}
That retains ease of use while still giving ourselves some flexibility in
the implementation.
