Implement a ReactiveSessionRepository backed by R2DBC

[rj93]

Expected Behavior

Similar as the JDBC one, but for reactive applications.

Current Behavior

There is none.

Context

How has this issue affected you?

• Currently have to deploy separate infrastructure such as Redis to achieve distributed sessions in a Spring Webflux application, such as ones that use sessions for authentication.

What are you trying to accomplish?

• To have distributed sessions backed by a R2DBC connection.

What other alternatives have you considered?

• Deploying additional infra that do have support for reactive web sessions.

Are you aware of any workarounds?

• No.

Thanks for the suggestion @rj93.

I will keep this open as a feature request.

As a workaround, you can use a custom ReactiveSessionRepository.
You can find more information in the reference docs.

I will probably wait on spring-projects/spring-framework#27229 to get merged so we have a better way to batch insert/update/delete session attributes.
