[ISSUE #5157] - fix error handling for uninitialized DefaultMQProducer in start

[aditya-rajpurohit]

Which Issue(s) This PR Fixes

Fixes #5157

Brief Description

This PR adds proper error handling for DefaultMQProducer in start.

Previously, the code used unwrap(), which could panic if the producer was uninitialized. This change replaces the unsafe unwrap with structured error handling and returns a descriptive RocketMQError.

How Did You Test This Change?

• Built the project with cargo build
• Ran unit tests using cargo test

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Enhanced producer initialization error handling to return an explicit error message instead of an unexpected crash when the producer is not properly initialized.

Walkthrough

The change replaces an unwrap() call with explicit error handling in DefaultMQProducer.start, returning a not_initialized error if the internal DefaultMQProducerImpl is absent instead of panicking.

591-595: LGTM! Error handling successfully prevents panic.

The change correctly replaces the unsafe unwrap() with explicit error handling using ok_or, returning a descriptive error when the producer is uninitialized. This aligns with the error handling patterns used throughout the file.

Recommended improvements:

1. Add test coverage: Consider adding a unit test for start() when default_mqproducer_impl is uninitialized, similar to the existing tests at lines 1214-1403 that verify other methods handle this case correctly.

2. Optional pattern refinement: For consistency with some other locations in this file (e.g., lines 1022-1024, 1113-1115), consider using ok_or_else with a closure to avoid eagerly constructing the error:

♻️ Optional refactor for lazy error construction

-        self.default_mqproducer_impl
-            .as_mut()
-            .ok_or(RocketMQError::not_initialized("DefaultMQProducerImpl not initialized"))?
-            .start()
-            .await?;
+        self.default_mqproducer_impl
+            .as_mut()
+            .ok_or_else(|| RocketMQError::not_initialized("DefaultMQProducerImpl not initialized"))?
+            .start()
+            .await?;

This is a minor optimization that defers error construction until needed, though the performance impact is negligible.

Learning: In RocketMQ Rust, while dashmap is concurrent-safe, returning a direct reference to a DashMap can break encapsulation by allowing external code to modify the map without triggering persistence methods like `persist()`. Consider returning a read-only view, iterator methods, or a snapshot instead.
