Spring-framework: RSocket client and server support [SPR-16751]

[spring-projects-issues]

Rossen Stoyanchev opened SPR-16751 and commented

RSocket is a protocol for multiplexed streams comparable to gRPC in terms of interaction models, but transport independent (TCP, WebSockte, HTTP/2, Aeron) and with protocol-level support for Reactive Streams back pressure, among other unique features. RSocket does have multi-language client and server support but does not have built-in rpc-style code generation.

The rsocket-java project is built on Reactor Netty and Reactor Core, so the programming model and technology stack is closely aligned with WebFlux.

This ticket is to provide client and server RSocket support for Spring applications.
