Do you mean a list RPC that takes no arguments and returns every credential defined for every users and a describe RPC that takes 1 or more users and returns every credential defined for those specified users, and they both return the same information for each credential? Or do you mean a list RPC and a describe RPC that return different sets of information (as is done with list vs. describe topics)? I think you mean the former (two RPCs, each returning the same thing), but I want to be certain I understand. > There are a few reasons why. One is that even though we currently only make one RPC, in the future we might make more than one. In that case we would want multiple futures. I don't understand what this is referring to. By "we currently only make one RPC" to what are you referring? > I also feel like in AdminClient, errors should be handled with futures pretty much all the time Agreed. Will convert to using futures always, whenever we arrive at the final decision on what the RPCs need to look like. I'm wondering if we convert to returning futures everywhere, can we stick with the one describe RPC? For example, could the admin client return a `Future<Map<String, Future<UserScramCredentialDescription>>>`? Would that work, and if so, would that be a reasonable way to proceed? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
