Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the Reactive Java client's interfaces and the Reactor Context transaction references, then determine how Pulsar transaction context should flow through reactive subscriptions. Done means the client has an agreed, extensible interface design with transaction support and coverage for the relevant flows.

Description

There's currently no support for Pulsar transactions in the Reactive Java client for Apache Pulsar. This is a gap. We should ensure that we have a good way to extend the interfaces for transactions.

Project Reactor has support for passing a context along the Reactive subscription chain. This is used in Spring to pass transaction context in Reactive flows.
Reactive Transactions with Spring were introduced in this blog post: https://spring.io/blog/2019/05/16/reactive-transactions-with-spring .
