RxJava is missing a factory to create an infinite stream of natural numbers. Such a stream is useful e.g. when you want to assign unique sequence numbers to possibly infinite stream of events by zipping both of them: Flowable<Long> naturalNumbers = //??? Flowable<Event> someInfiniteEventStream = //... Flowable<Pair<Long, Event>> sequenced = Flowable.zip( naturalNumbers, someInfiniteEventStream, Pair::of ); Implementing naturalNumbers is surprisingly complex. In RxJava ...

Problem SpringBoot provides lot of flexibility in externalizing configuration properties via properties or YAML files. We can also configure properties for each environment (dev, qa, prod etc) separately using profile specific configuration files such as application.properties, application-dev.properties, application-prod.properties etc. But once the application is started we can not update the properties at runtime. If we change the properties we need to restart the application ...
