(e.g. returning an error here won't prevent on_next from being called once or twice while the producer is cleaning up) It won't prevent it, but the docs explicitly state that if an error is returned from the callback, the producer should *only* call release after that and not call further callbacks. though there isn't anything to functionally prevent it. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
