Hibernate Reactive integration

Creating this to track all relevant efforts.
To be perfectly transparent, at the moment I’m not convinced we can/should do it, because:
I have no idea whether there is sizeable demand for it.
We don’t have that much bandwidth, so we must prioritize this against other, potentially more popular features.
It would require significant changes to the implementation of indexing processors and reindexing resolvers (among others).
It would require different APIs in some (critical) places.
It would require significant effort on testing (especially since the current tests in pojo-base all assume synchronous loading and may have to be duplicated)
It would pose significant challenge when it comes to Hibernate ORM upgrades, as Hibernate Reactive is (very) tightly coupled with Hibernate ORM, often to a specific micro of it.
And there are probably other problems I didn’t think of.
This tracks all issues related to a potential future integration of Hibernate Search into Hibernate Reactive.
Note the Hibernate team is not currently actively working on this:
The road ahead is still unclear. See comments.
The list of child issues is currently incomplete.
We’re not sure of real-world demand. Upvote if you would actually use this in your application.
