Known issues

Serialization support for ribbon-transport and ribbon module is still work in progress and will be added in RxNetty. Until then, for users of ribbon module, the return type from the template has to be Netty's ByteBuf otherwise an error will be raised.
If a blocking API is used on RibbonRequest, meaning queue() or execute(), the caller must explicitly release the ByteBuf. Otherwise it will cause resource leak. for example:

    RibbonRequest<ByteBuf> request = ...;
    ByteBuf result = request.execute();
    try {
        // do something with the ByteBuf
    } finally {
        result.release();
    }
