    [GH] Hide deprecated internal API.
   
    ## Proposed Changes
   
    * `RoomDatabase.java` has protected `mCallbacks` field which is leaking in the API docs, we should @Hide it.
   
    ## Testing
   
    Test: Ran unit tests locally
   
    ## Issues Fixed

Relating to the original request, how about allowing a return type of Deferred<LiveData<T>> which suspends until LiveData<T>'s value has been set the first time?

I just tested out Room 2.1.0-alpha03 and added suspend to all of my functions.... there appears to be an issue with functions that use @Query() and UPDATE and DELETE queries.  Examples:

Code Example 1:
    @Query("DELETE FROM individual")
    suspend fun deleteAll()
Error:
    Deletion methods must either return void or return int (the number of deleted rows).

Code Example 2:
    @Query("UPDATE individual SET firstName = :firstName WHERE id = :id")
    suspend fun updateFirstName(id: Long, firstName: String)
Error:
    Not sure how to convert a Cursor to this method's return type (kotlin.Unit).

Async return types with @Query that perform UPDATE, DELETE or INSERT are not yet supported. This also applies to coroutines. We are actively working on adding this for the next alpha of 2.1.0. Subscribe to the bug for updates: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/120227284

Hello.
Any updates on returning Channel<T> from DAO?
Will contributions be accepted for that feature?

Channels are experimental right now so we probably want to wait until it is stable.

Channels +1

Marking as fix since core coroutines are supported in 2.1, in the mean time we'll keep an eye on the Channels API to potentially support it once its upgraded out of experimental. https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/127328278

Is it expected that we still have to ensure that suspended functions aren't dispatched from the main thread?
The first call (eg `final SupportSQLiteStatement _stmt = __preparedStmtOfDeleteAll.acquire();`) is not wrapped in a callable and can't be done on the ui thread, so we still have to wrap suspensions with our own context.

Kotlinx.coroutines 1.2 released with cold stream abstraction Flow:
https://kotlin.github.io/kotlinx.coroutines/kotlinx-coroutines-core/kotlinx.coroutines.flow/-flow/index.html

It's in "preview" status, but maybe we also could expect some experimental version of Room with Flow support for observable requests
