Chia-Ping Tsai created KAFKA-12227: -------------------------------------- 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. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-XXX%3A+Return+CompletableFuture+from+KafkaProducer.send -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
