Adding toCompletionStage()
is sufficient because CompletionStage
itself exposes toCompletableFuture()
, so anyone who needs an actual CompletableFuture (e.g. for interoperating with 3rd party APIs that require one) can get one. However, CompletableFuture
exposes methods for future completion which should not be called by users (only the Admin client should be completing the returned futures), so calling these will be prevented. It is expected that users wanting to block on the completion of the KafkaFuture
would use kafkaFuture.get()
, rather than calling kafkaFuture.toCompletionStage().toCompletableFuture().get()
, so the need to access the CompleteableFuture
should be rare.

- Remove the
@InterfaceStability.Evolving
annotation onKafkaFuture
to reflect the reality that changing this class incompatibly would cause of too much user code to break. - Deprecate the static class
KafkaFuture.Function
, which already had Javadoc noting thatKafkaFuture.BaseFunction
was preferred. - Annotating
KafkaFuture.Function
,.BaseFunction
and.BiFunction
with@FunctionalInterface
, like the corresponding interfaces injava.util
.
The methods of future admin client *Result
classes would continue to use KafkaFuture
for the sake of consistency.

To get the required completion-safety properties a new (internal) KafkaCompletableFuture
class, a subclass of CompletableFuture
, will be introduced. This KIP will allow access to the instance of that subclass wrapped by a KafkaFutureImpl
, and that instance will be completed within within KafkaFutureImpl
via a different method than the complete
/completeExceptionally
that 's inherited it inherits from CompletableFuture
.
KafkaFutureImpl
would gain a new public constructor for wrapping a KafkaCompletableFuture, which will allow implementation of KafkaFuture#allOf()
to be simplified.
