Abstract
Reactive programming (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_programming) has gained popularity in the Java community recently. In the Java world, we have popular reactive libraries like RxJava (https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava) and Reactor (http://projectreactor.io/). Reactive Streams (http://www.reactive-streams.org/) is an initiative to provide a standard for asynchronous stream processing with nonblocking back pressure. Core interfaces from the Reactive Streams specification have been added to Java 9 in the class java.util.concurrent.Flow.
