abstract class Future[+A] extends Awaitable[A]

Represents an asynchronous value.

See the user guide on concurrent programming with Futures to better understand how they work and can be used.

A Future[T] can be in one of three states:

  • Pending, the computation has not yet completed
  • Satisfied successfully, with a result of type T (a Return)
  • Satisfied by a failure, with a Throwable result (a Throw)

This definition of Future does not assume any concrete implementation; in particular, it does not couple the user to a specific executor or event loop.

Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def isReady(implicit permit: CanAwait): Boolean

    Is this Awaitable ready? In other words: would calling Awaitable.ready block?

  2. abstract def poll: Option[Try[A]]

    Polls for an available result.

    Polls for an available result. If the Future has been satisfied, returns Some(result), otherwise None.

  3. abstract def raise(interrupt: Throwable): Unit

    Raise the given throwable as an interrupt.

    Raise the given throwable as an interrupt. Interrupts are one-shot and latest-interrupt wins. That is, the last interrupt to have been raised is delivered exactly once to the Promise responsible for making progress on the future (multiple such promises may be involved in flatMap chains).

    Raising an interrupt does not alter the externally observable state of the Future. They are used to signal to the producer of the future's value that the result is no longer desired (for whatever reason given in the passed Throwable). For example:

    import com.twitter.util.Promise
    val p = new Promise[Unit]()
    p.setInterruptHandler { case _ => println("interrupt handler fired") }
    p.poll // is `None`
    p.raise(new Exception("raised!"))
    p.poll // is still `None`

    In the context of a Future created via composition (e.g. flatMap/onSuccess/transform), raise-ing on that Future will call raise on the head of the chain which created this Future. For example:

    import com.twitter.util.Promise
    val p = new Promise[Int]()
    p.setInterruptHandler { case _ => println("interrupt handler fired") }
    val f = p.map(_ + 1)
    
    f.raise(new Exception("fire!"))

    The call to f.raise will call p.raise and print "interrupt handler fired".

    When the head of that chain of Futures is satisfied, the next Future in the chain created by composition will have raise called. For example:

    import com.twitter.util.Promise
    val p1, p2 = new Promise[Int]()
    p1.setInterruptHandler { case _ => println("p1 interrupt handler") }
    p2.setInterruptHandler { case _ => println("p2 interrupt handler") }
    val f = p1.flatMap { _ => p2 }
    
    f.raise(new Exception("fire!")) // will print "p1 interrupt handler"
    p1.setValue(1) // will print "p2 interrupt handler"

  5. abstract def respond(k: (Try[A]) => Unit): Future[A]

    When the computation completes, invoke the given callback function.

    When the computation completes, invoke the given callback function.

    The returned Future will be satisfied when this, the original future, is done.

    This method is most useful for very generic code (like libraries). Otherwise, it is a best practice to use one of the alternatives (onSuccess, onFailure, etc.).

    k

    the side-effect to apply when the computation completes. The value of the input to k will be the result of the computation to this future.

    returns

    a chained Future[A]

    Example:
    1. import com.twitter.util.{Await, Future, Return, Throw}
      val f1: Future[Int] = Future.value(1)
      val f2: Future[Int] = Future.exception(new Exception("boom!"))
      val printing: Future[Int] => Future[Int] = x => x.respond {
      	case Return(_) => println("Here's a Return")
      	case Throw(_) => println("Here's an Exception")
      }
      Await.result(printing(f1))
      // Prints side-effect "Here's a Return" and then returns Future value "1"
      Await.result(printing(f2))
      // Prints side-effect "Here's an Exception" and then throws java.lang.Exception: boom!
      
      // Await.result blocks the current thread,
      // don't use it except for tests.

    When this future completes, run f on that completed result whether or not this computation was successful.

    Note

    This method is similar to transform, but the transformation is applied without introducing an intermediate future, which leads to fewer allocations. The promise is satisfied directly instead of wrapping a Future around a Try. The returned Future will be satisfied when this, the original future, is done.

    If this, the original future, results in an exceptional computation, rescueException may convert the failure into a new result.

    The returned result is a Future that is satisfied when the original future and the callback, rescueException, are done.

    This is the equivalent of map for failed computations.

  23. def interruptible(): Future[A]

    Makes a derivative Future which will be satisfied with the result of the parent.

    Makes a derivative Future which will be satisfied with the result of the parent. However, if it's interrupted, it will detach from the parent Future, satisfy itself with the exception raised to it, and won't propagate the interruption back to the parent Future.

    This is useful for when a Future is shared between many contexts, where it may not be useful to discard the underlying computation if just one context is no longer interested in the result. In particular, this is different from Future.masked in that it will prevent memory leaks if the parent Future will never be satisfied, because closures that are attached to this derivative Future will not be held onto by the killer Future.

    Joins this future with a given other future and applies fn to its result.

    Joins this future with a given other future and applies fn to its result. If this or other future fails, the returned Future is immediately satisfied by that failure.

    Returns an identical Future except that it ignores interrupts which match a predicate.

    Same as the other raiseWithin, but with an implicit timer. Sometimes this is more convenient.

    Note: On timeout, the underlying future is interrupted.

  43. def rescue[B >: A](rescueException: PartialFunction[Throwable, Future[B]]): Future[B]

    If this, the original future, results in an exceptional computation, rescueException may convert the failure into a new result.

    If this, the original future, results in an exceptional computation, rescueException may convert the failure into a new result.

    The returned result is a Future that is satisfied when the original future and the callback, rescueException, are done.

    This is the equivalent of flatMap for failed computations.

    Example:
    1. import com.twitter.util.{Await, Future}
      val f1: Future[Int] = Future.exception(new Exception("boom1!"))
      val f2: Future[Int] = Future.exception(new Exception("boom2!"))
      val newf: Future[Int] => Future[Int] = x => x.rescue {
      	case e: Exception if e.getMessage == "boom1!" => Future.value(1)
      }
      Await.result(newf(f1)) // 1
      Await.result(newf(f2)) // throws java.lang.Exception: boom2!
      
      // Await.result blocks the current thread,
      // don't use it except for tests.

  46. def toCompletableFuture[B >: A]: CompletableFuture[B]

    Convert a Twitter Future to a Java native CompletableFuture.

    Convert a Twitter Future to a Java native CompletableFuture. This should match the semantics of a Java Future as closely as possible to avoid issues with the way another API might use them. At the same time, its semantics should be similar to those of a Twitter Future, so it propagates cancellation. See:

  50. def transformedBy[B](transformer: FutureTransformer[A, B]): Future[B]

    Transform the Future[A] into a Future[B] using the FutureTransformer.

    Transform the Future[A] into a Future[B] using the FutureTransformer. The FutureTransformer handles both success (Return) and failure (Throw) values by implementing map/flatMap and handle/rescue. This method is typically used by Java programs because it avoids the use of small Function objects.

    Note

    The FutureTransformer must implement either flatMap or map and may optionally implement handle. Failing to implement a method will result in a run-time error (AbstractMethodError).
