Kotlin Pair for rxAsyncGet?

[AsyncMoksha]

It seems like if my java project uses rxAsyncGet, it has to know Kotlin's Pair class since that's part of its return type. I don't want my java project to know anything about Kotlin, what's a good solution?

Java 8 does not have a proper class to represent a Tuple or a Pair (although javafx has one). I could have used any of the third party libraries implementing it (like Apache Commons), but it would add an extra dependency on the project for a very silly addition.

I decided to use Kotlin Pair because Kotlin is already part of the project, and it has good language support.

However, I do understand your position and if it makes it any better, I can create a wrapper class called "AerospikeKeyValue" or "AerospikeResult" and return this instead.

What do you think about this solution?

I like the solution, it would make this library easier to work with.

I implemented AerospikeResult<V> and AerospikeArrayResult<V> data wrappers. They replace Kotlin's Pair class and use a generic value for the result. This decision was made because Aerospike get/exists/execute operations always return a Key or an array of Key objects, but the result itself could be a Boolean (exists operation), a Record (get operation) or any Object (execute operation).

The changes are available in version 0.3.0.
