Suggested change
public interface NexusClientHandle<R> extends UntypedNexusClientHandle {
public interface NexusOperationHandle<R> extends UntypedNexusOperationHandle {

Please keep consistent naming with other Handles like https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-java/blob/master/temporal-sdk/src/main/java/io/temporal/client/ActivityHandle.java

The nexus doc had "NexusOperationHandle". I didn't use that name as there was already a NexusOperationHandle class and I didn't want to duplicate it. Even if in a different package, that just seemed confusing.

The reason I went to NexusClient in a lot of class names was to avoid naming collisions like that - again, even if in different packages it seemed confusing, and I wanted some form of consistency. So I named this NexusClientHandle to show that it was linked to the other NexusClient classes.

That being said, I do want to be consistent, but might have to check in with you and talk this one out. Maybe we can make these NexusOperationExecutionHandle and UntypedNexusOperationExecutionHandle, but then we lose the link to the other NexusClient classes - though would we use these for all Nexus operations so maybe we don't need such a link?

Renamed to NexusOperationHandle as per conversation - we feel that the names being in different packages that have different use cases which should never be mixed should be sufficient to avoid confusion, especially as the user will get this returned to them and won't be creating these classes.

Leaving this conversation unresolved to make sure the SDK team sees it and can weigh in!

Reviewed most of the public API, didn't get to into the tests or implementation for now since some stuff will likely change.

Approving, assuming we address the cancel tests and any open SDK team discussions

There is no matching method for typed NexusServiceClient. Is it intentional?

Use SDK's Functions.Func2 instead of BiFunction and Func1 instead of Function - applies to whole file.

There is no matching overload for typed handle. Either add one or remove this one (I'd prefer removing this one to make lack of run ID explicit).

There should be an empty RequestCancelNexusOperationExecutionOutput class that this methods returns, to account for future extensions. Same for terminate and delete.

Do not set explicit page size, instead rely on server default.

I'm not sure this is correct behavior? For Temporal activities, a null result is encoded as actual null encoded payload in the result field, and both result and failure missing would be a malformed message. Is Nexus different in this regard?

I feel this unnecessarily duplicates isUseExternalService. Either remove this method, or add some kind of version/capabilities check to ensure the external service does support Nexus and SANO.
