My apologies if certain elements of this question are (slightly) off-topic, 
but it is a Swagger-centric query; and its impossible to ask the right 
question without putting it in context.

I want to use Azure Service Fabric services to host an API, for reliability 
and scalability. Because my API will be very "parameter heavy" and I would 
like to use complex datatypes, I am steering away from a RESTful 
implementation. I think WCF is a better fit. However, I do like the 
client-side code generation options that come with Swagger, so I would very 
much like to use that. I have looked into the Swagger for WCF open source 
project, and, if that works properly it would make a very good fit.


With the above in mind, I have these questions. Looking at the WCF 
documentation for Azure Service fabric at this link: * 
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-reliable-services-communication-wcf*
 
<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-reliable-services-communication-wcf>

They show this example code for a WCF service interface:


[ServiceContract]public interface ICalculator{    [OperationContract]    
Task<int> Add(int value1, int value2);}


(a) It appears that it might be a requirement to use a Task<T> return type 
for Service Operations when developing WCF inside a Service Fabric

(In traditional WCF, I could just use my own classes (decorated with the 
appropriate serialization attributes) as return types; is this an option in 
Service Fabric?)


(b) If it is a requirement to use a Task<T>, *what are the implications for 
using Swagger*? I assume that Swagger will depend upon the ability to 
serialize a Task<T>, and I am not sure if this is going to be practical, 
and whether I am going to get reasonably "clean" results with Swagger if I 
go down this road?


If anyone has any thoughts, I'd be grateful. I want to try to design this 
right before I get too heavily into coding etc.


Thank you.
