Hi, As far as I know calling collect(Throwable) should also finish the promise that would otherwise fulfilled by successfully collecting a result. If not then you might have found a bug. What makes you think that the Thread is not being released? Is your queue being filled up and no more elements are being processed?
Regarding your other question, yes, you can collect an empty Collection for signalling that there was no result. Best, Aljoscha > On 8.
