In 1.1.1,
groupBy
was fixed to properly honor backpressure on the outerObservable
. The change included a drain loop that emittedonCompleted()
to the groups only when allGroupedObservable
s were drained from the main queue. This delayed the group's completion unnecessarily causing theconcat
operator to hang in some source-consumer cases such as #3775.This PR fixes the behavior by signalling
onCompleted()
to the groups the moment the main completes.Note, however, that concatenating groups is eventually prone to hangs due to the groups not completing until the source completes, thus
concat
can't switch to the next source. One should useflatMap
orconcatMapEager
instead.
