Hi everyone I'm working with Kafka via Kotlin and we want to transform its `Future` implementation (<https://github.com/apache/kafka/blob/trunk/clients/src/main/java/org/apache/kafka/clients/producer/internals/FutureRecordMetadata.java>) as `Deferred`. Could this be a solution?
```
fun &lt;T&gt; Future&lt;T&gt;.asDeferred(): Deferred&lt;T&gt; {
    return GlobalScope.async(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>) {
        get()
    }
}
```
<@U0NT624JZ> suggested to follow also this solution: <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50793362/how-to-use-suspendcoroutine-to-turn-java-7-future-into-kotlin-suspending-functio#answer-52901712>
Which of these two is the most correct?

Maybe just wrap it in `CompletableFuture` and use coroutine jdk8 wrappers

Wrapping a regular `Future` in `CompletableFuture` doesn't solve the underlying problem... whenever and wherever that `get` is called, its gonna block. That's why I suggested he use the IO dispatcher for the `get`.
