Interface BufferConsumer

All Known Subinterfaces:
ByteBufConsumer
All Known Implementing Classes:
BaseSharedBuffer.AsFlux, StreamingNettyByteBody.SharedBuffer

@Internal public interface BufferConsumer
This is a reactor-like API for streaming bytes. It's a bit better than reactor because it's more explicit about reference counting semantics, has more fine-grained controls for cancelling, and has more relaxed concurrency semantics.
This interface is buffer type agnostic. For specific buffer types (e.g. netty ByteBuf) there is a specific subinterface.
