Interface BufferConsumer

All Known Implementing Classes:
BaseSharedBuffer, BaseSharedBuffer.AsFlux, ConcatenatingSubscriber, FormDemuxer, ReactiveByteBufferByteBody.SharedBuffer, 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.
