----------------------------------------
[~ijuma] The KIP is great to me so I file a Jira to activate it :)
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
