      • future

        public static <T> scala.concurrent.Future<T> future​(java.util.concurrent.Callable<T> body,
                                                            scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext executor)
        Starts an asynchronous computation and returns a Future object with the result of that computation.

        The result becomes available once the asynchronous computation is completed.

        Parameters:
        body - the asynchronous computation
        executor - the execution context on which the future is run
        Returns:
        the Future holding the result of the computation
      • promise

        public static <T> scala.concurrent.Promise<T> promise()
        Creates a promise object which can be completed with a value.

        Returns:
        the newly created Promise object
      • failed

        public static <T> scala.concurrent.Future<T> failed​(java.lang.Throwable exception)
        creates an already completed Promise with the specified exception
      • successful

        public static <T> scala.concurrent.Future<T> successful​(T result)
        Creates an already completed Promise with the specified result
      • failedCompletionStage

        public static <T> java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage<T> failedCompletionStage​(java.lang.Throwable ex)
        Creates an already completed CompletionStage with the specified exception
      • find

        public static <T> scala.concurrent.Future<Option<T>> find​(java.lang.Iterable<scala.concurrent.Future<T>> futures,
                                                                  Function<T,​java.lang.Boolean> predicate,
                                                                  scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext executor)
        Returns a Future that will hold the optional result of the first Future with a result that matches the predicate
      • firstCompletedOf

        public static <T> scala.concurrent.Future<T> firstCompletedOf​(java.lang.Iterable<scala.concurrent.Future<T>> futures,
                                                                      scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext executor)
        Returns a Future to the result of the first future in the list that is completed
      • fold

        public static <T,​R> scala.concurrent.Future<R> fold​(R zero,
                                                                  java.lang.Iterable<scala.concurrent.Future<T>> futures,

        A non-blocking fold over the specified futures, with the start value of the given zero. The fold is performed on the thread where the last future is completed, the result will be the first failure of any of the futures, or any failure in the actual fold, or the result of the fold.

        Reduces the results of the supplied futures and binary function.
      • traverse

        public static <A,​B> scala.concurrent.Future<java.lang.Iterable<B>> traverse​(java.lang.Iterable<A> in,
                                                                                          Function<A,​scala.concurrent.Future<B>> fn,
