Hi. Are we supposed to be able to return a kotlin Sequence from a spring-data query? Not finding much on Google...

I think the closest you'd get is returning a Kotlin Flow. If the method returns a Flux<T> normally, you can convert it to a `Flow<T>`(there's usually an .asFlow() helper method).

If you can get a spring data method to return a java 8 stream, there's an extension method asSequence that can easily get you a sequence

Great thanks. I think Flux is for reactive/webflux mode which I'm not using but yes it can return Stream so .asSequence() should work, thanks!
