Replace RowOperation.initialValue() and rowAggregator() by collect(Collector)

[Lukas Eder]

But what is submit supposed to do when there is no collect() call (or in
the current API, no initialValue() call)? The only reasonable types to
return from submit() and then toCompletableFuture() would be Void or ?, no?
What am I missing?
