[infinispan-dev] Reactive Streams + RxJava

[Emmanuel Bernard]

You’re thinking about a pure implementation play, correct? RxJava or the Reactive Stream constructs would not be exposed to the user as API. Am I correct?
Also for posterity, we had backchannel chats about it and you said you felt vert.x was not necessarily addressing your needs. Could you elaborate a bit here?

What we have now in github is similar but it uses a very crude method of blocking the thread to prevent back pressure. This can then cause severe issues as many users have found out when they don't close iterator.

This library adds a bunch of support for built in back pressure, transformations and much more which would reduce the amount of code I would need to write substantially.
