Allow Akka.Streams to utilize an IObservable<T> as a source and sink #2354

Open SeanFarrow opened 8 years ago

SeanFarrow commented 8 years ago

It would be nice to allow Akka.Streams to use an IObservable as both a source and a Sink.

I'm happy to do this, but the only question I have is whilst IObservable is in the core framework assemblies there are no implementations available. Given this, do we want to take a dependency on RX, which would make it easier to implement the IObservable interface as they provide base classes rather than implementing it ourselves?

Thoughts appreciated. Cheers Sean.

I wouldn't like to add a RX dependency to Akka.Streams directly but instead create another library that only has a dependency to RX and Reactive.Streams. This way any other library that implements Reactive.Streams can use your library to interop with RX.

Would you add a dependency to Akka.streams as well, there is a contrib project on the jvm, I wonder whether we should do something similar? So have a separate akka.streams.contrib?

We don't need a reference to Akka.Streams because we already have overloads to create a source from a publisher, it would kinda look like this

var pub = rx.ToPublisher(Strategy.DropHead);
var src = Source.FromPublisher(pub);

same for the other way.

So the library would be independent from streams.

Yup we have already planed to create a similar repository, so this could be the first contribution ;-) I'll talk to the rest of the team and let you know once the repository is ready.

@SeanFarrow we now have a repository for akka streams connectors, see https://github.com/akkadotnet/Alpakka .

So if you are working on it please submit a PR there, if not, please tell us and I set it as up for grabs

@silv3rcircl3, I will be working on this in the next few weeks, so hopefully there will be a pr early December.
