We now use StepVerifier and RxJava's .test() methods instead of .block() calls. Using blocking methods is an anti pattern which should be avoided within tests. Test API comes with timeouts and protects tests from never completing.
Adapt to changed API. Migrate tests to use AssertJ. Re-enable Cassandra examples. Adapt Cassandra examples to relocated packages. Adapt reactive Cassandra examples to removed insert(Publisher) method.
Exclude the reporter-config3 library from cassandra-all as it pulls in an outdated hibernate-validator version 4.3.0 that conflicts with Spring Boot's Hibernate Validator baseline and it's not required during tests because we don't publish any metrics.
Exclude CassandraDataAutoConfiguration because the referenced Spring Data Cassandra version is not compatible with CassandraDataAutoConfiguration. Refactor bulk loading to flapMap(…) as CassandraTemplate.insert(…) no longer accepts an entity stream.
Upgraded to Boot 1.5.6. Updated dependencies of reactive projects to latest versions to make sure the APIs of Boot work with the changes in Spring Data Kay RC1. Upgraded all other dependencies to match and got both the Redis and the Cassandra examples to compile again.
Disabled Cassandra reactive samples for now as they fail at runtime.
We now check whether an external Apache Cassandra instance is available at localhost:9042 and use it to run the examples. Otherwise, if no external Apache Cassandra instance is available, we start an embedded Cassandra instance.
