Java：Reactive Streams简单介绍

       Reactive Streams是一套规范，它为非阻塞带背压的异步流处理提供了一套标准。这套API主要提供了4个接口。它针对不同的开发语言都提供了API，为了讲解方便，下面主要以java为例进行介绍。
以下是Reactive Streams官方提供的java API接口：

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.reactivestreams</groupId>
    <artifactId>reactive-streams</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.3</version>
</dependency>

package org.reactivestreams;

public interface Publisher<T> {

    public void subscribe(Subscriber<? super T> s);
}

package org.reactivestreams;

public interface Subscriber<T> {

    public void onSubscribe(Subscription s);

    public void onNext(T t);

    public void onError(Throwable t);

    public void onComplete();
}

package org.reactivestreams;

public interface Subscription {

    public void request(long n);

    public void cancel();
}

package org.reactivestreams;

public interface Processor<T, R> extends Subscriber<T>, Publisher<R> {
}

java从JDK9开始，也提供了一套功能上完全等同于Reactive Streams的接口，java.util.concurrent.Flow

java.util.concurrent.Flow.Processor<T,R>
java.util.concurrent.Flow.Publisher<T>
java.util.concurrent.Flow.Subscriber<T>
java.util.concurrent.Flow.Subscription

由于Reactive Streams只是一套API接口规范，如果要实际使用它，需要对它进行实现。现在，很多项目对Reactive Streams进行了实现，其中比较有名的是ReactiveX、Project Reactor等，它们都提供了针对多种开发语言的实现版本。

ReactiveX的主要实现类：

io.reactivex.rxjava3.core.Flowable	0..N flows, supporting Reactive-Streams and backpressure
io.reactivex.rxjava3.core.Observable	0..N flows, no backpressure
io.reactivex.rxjava3.core.Single	a flow of exactly 1 item or an error
io.reactivex.rxjava3.core.Completable	a flow without items but only a completion or error signal
io.reactivex.rxjava3.core.Maybe	a flow with no items, exactly one item or an error

Reactor的Publisher实现类：

reactor.core.publisher.Flux	an Asynchronous Sequence of 0-N Items
reactor.core.publisher.Mono	an Asynchronous 0-1 Result
