Static utility methods pertaining to the Future interface.
Many of these methods use the ListenableFuture API; consult the Guava User Guide article on ListenableFuture.
The main purpose of ListenableFuture is to help you chain together a graph of asynchronous operations. You can chain them together manually with calls to methods like Futures.transform, but you will often find it easier to use a framework. Frameworks automate the process, often adding features like monitoring, debugging, and cancellation. Examples of frameworks include:
- Dagger Producers
If you do chain your operations manually, you may want to use FluentFuture.

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Concrete Methods Deprecated Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`static <V> void`	`addCallback(ListenableFuture<V> future, FutureCallback<? super V> callback)` Deprecated. Use the overload that requires an executor. For identical behavior, pass `MoreExecutors.directExecutor()`, but consider whether another executor would be safer, as discussed in the `ListenableFuture.addListener` documentation. This method is scheduled to be removed in April 2018.
`static <V> void`	`addCallback(ListenableFuture<V> future, FutureCallback<? super V> callback, Executor executor)` Registers separate success and failure callbacks to be run when the `Future`'s computation is complete or, if the computation is already complete, immediately.
`static <V> ListenableFuture<List<V>>`	`allAsList(Iterable<? extends ListenableFuture<? extends V>> futures)` Creates a new `ListenableFuture` whose value is a list containing the values of all its input futures, if all succeed.
`static <V> ListenableFuture<List<V>>`	`allAsList(ListenableFuture<? extends V>... futures)` Creates a new `ListenableFuture` whose value is a list containing the values of all its input futures, if all succeed.
`static <V,X extends Throwable> ListenableFuture<V>`	`catching(ListenableFuture<? extends V> input, Class<X> exceptionType, Function<? super X,? extends V> fallback)` Deprecated. Use the overload that requires an executor. For identical behavior, pass `MoreExecutors.directExecutor()`, but consider whether another executor would be safer, as discussed in the `ListenableFuture.addListener` documentation. This method is scheduled to be removed in April 2018.
`static <V,X extends Throwable> ListenableFuture<V>`	`catching(ListenableFuture<? extends V> input, Class<X> exceptionType, Function<? super X,? extends V> fallback, Executor executor)` Returns a `Future` whose result is taken from the given primary `input` or, if the primary input fails with the given `exceptionType`, from the result provided by the `fallback`.
`static <V,X extends Throwable> ListenableFuture<V>`	`catchingAsync(ListenableFuture<? extends V> input, Class<X> exceptionType, AsyncFunction<? super X,? extends V> fallback)` Deprecated. Use the overload that requires an executor. For identical behavior, pass `MoreExecutors.directExecutor()`, but consider whether another executor would be safer, as discussed in the `ListenableFuture.addListener` documentation. This method is scheduled to be removed in April 2018.
`static <V,X extends Throwable> ListenableFuture<V>`	`catchingAsync(ListenableFuture<? extends V> input, Class<X> exceptionType, AsyncFunction<? super X,? extends V> fallback, Executor executor)` Returns a `Future` whose result is taken from the given primary `input` or, if the primary input fails with the given `exceptionType`, from the result provided by the `fallback`.
`static <V,X extends Exception> V`	`getChecked(Future<V> future, Class<X> exceptionClass)` Returns the result of `Future.get()`, converting most exceptions to a new instance of the given checked exception type.
`static <V,X extends Exception> V`	`getChecked(Future<V> future, Class<X> exceptionClass, long timeout, TimeUnit unit)` Returns the result of `Future.get(long, TimeUnit)`, converting most exceptions to a new instance of the given checked exception type.

`static <V,X extends Exception> CheckedFuture<V,X>`	`immediateCheckedFuture(V value)` Deprecated. `CheckedFuture` cannot properly support the chained operations that are the primary goal of `ListenableFuture`. `CheckedFuture` also encourages users to rethrow exceptions from one thread in another thread, producing misleading stack traces. Additionally, it has a surprising policy about which exceptions to map and which to leave untouched. Guava users who want a `CheckedFuture` can fork the classes for their own use, possibly specializing them to the particular exception type they use.

 Deprecated. CheckedFuture cannot properly support the chained operations that are the primary goal of ListenableFuture. CheckedFuture also encourages users to rethrow exceptions from one thread in another thread, producing misleading stack traces. Additionally, it has a surprising policy about which exceptions to map and which to leave untouched. Guava users who want a CheckedFuture can fork the classes for their own use, possibly specializing them to the particular exception type they use. We recommend that most people use ListenableFuture and perform any exception wrapping themselves. This method is scheduled for removal from Guava in April 2018.
 
 Creates a CheckedFuture out of a normal ListenableFuture and a Function that maps from Exception instances into the appropriate checked type.
 Warning: We recommend against using CheckedFuture in new projects. CheckedFuture is difficult to build libraries atop. CheckedFuture ports of methods like transformAsync(com.google.common.util.concurrent.ListenableFuture, com.google.common.util.concurrent.AsyncFunction<? super I, ? extends O>) have historically had bugs, and some of these bugs are necessary, unavoidable consequences of the CheckedFuture API. Additionally, CheckedFuture encourages users to take exceptions from one thread and rethrow them in another, producing confusing stack traces.
 The given mapping function will be applied to an InterruptedException, a CancellationException, or an ExecutionException. See Future.get() for details on the exceptions thrown.

public static <V,X extends Throwable> ListenableFuture<V> catching(ListenableFuture<? extends V> input,

 Function<? super X,? extends V> fallback)
```
 Deprecated. Use the overload that requires an executor. For identical behavior, pass MoreExecutors.directExecutor(), but consider whether another executor would be safer, as discussed in the ListenableFuture.addListener documentation. This method is scheduled to be removed in April 2018.
 Returns a Future whose result is taken from the given primary input or, if the primary input fails with the given exceptionType, from the result provided by the fallback. Function.apply(F) is not invoked until the primary input has failed, so if the primary input succeeds, it is never invoked. If, during the invocation of fallback, an exception is thrown, this exception is used as the result of the output Future.
 Usage example:
```
 ListenableFuture<Integer> fetchCounterFuture = ...;

 // Falling back to a zero counter in case an exception happens when
 // processing the RPC to fetch counters.
 ListenableFuture<Integer> faultTolerantFuture = Futures.catching(
 fetchCounterFuture, FetchException.class, x -> 0);
 
```
 This overload, which does not accept an executor, uses directExecutor, a dangerous choice in some cases. See the discussion in the ListenableFuture.addListener documentation. All its warnings about heavyweight listeners are also applicable to heavyweight functions passed to this method.
 Parameters:
 
 input - the primary input Future
 
 exceptionType - the exception type that triggers use of fallback. The exception type is matched against the input's exception. "The input's exception" means the cause of the ExecutionException thrown by input.get() or, if get() throws a different kind of exception, that exception itself. To avoid hiding bugs and other unrecoverable errors, callers should prefer more specific types, avoiding Throwable.class in particular.
 
 fallback - the Function to be called if input fails with the expected exception type. The function's argument is the input's exception. "The input's exception" means the cause of the ExecutionException thrown by input.get() or, if get() throws a different kind of exception, that exception itself.

 Deprecated. Use the overload that requires an executor. For identical behavior, pass MoreExecutors.directExecutor(), but consider whether another executor would be safer, as discussed in the ListenableFuture.addListener documentation. This method is scheduled to be removed in April 2018.
 Returns a Future whose result is taken from the given primary input or, if the primary input fails with the given exceptionType, from the result provided by the fallback. AsyncFunction.apply(I) is not invoked until the primary input has failed, so if the primary input succeeds, it is never invoked. If, during the invocation of fallback, an exception is thrown, this exception is used as the result of the output Future.
 Usage examples:

 The fallback can also choose to propagate the original exception when desired:
```

 // Falling back to a zero counter only in case the exception was a
 // TimeoutException.
 ListenableFuture<Integer> faultTolerantFuture = Futures.catchingAsync(

 Returns a new Future whose result is asynchronously derived from the result of the given Future. If the given Future fails, the returned Future fails with the same exception (and the function is not invoked).
 More precisely, the returned Future takes its result from a Future produced by applying the given AsyncFunction to the result of the original Future. Example usage:
```
 ListenableFuture<RowKey> rowKeyFuture = indexService.lookUp(query);
 ListenableFuture<QueryResult> queryFuture =

All its warnings about heavyweight listeners are also applicable to heavyweight functions passed to this method. (Specifically, directExecutor functions should avoid heavyweight operations inside AsyncFunction.apply. Any heavyweight operations should occur in other threads responsible for completing the returned Future.)
 The returned Future attempts to keep its cancellation state in sync with that of the input future and that of the future returned by the function. That is, if the returned Future is cancelled, it will attempt to cancel the other two, and if either of the other two is cancelled, the returned Future will receive a callback in which it will attempt to cancel itself.
 Parameters:
 
 input - The future to transform
 
 function - A function to transform the result of the input future to the result of the output future
 
 Returns:

 The returned Future attempts to keep its cancellation state in sync with that of the input future and that of the future returned by the chain function. That is, if the returned Future is cancelled, it will attempt to cancel the other two, and if either of the other two is cancelled, the returned Future will receive a callback in which it will attempt to cancel itself.

That is, if the returned Future is cancelled, it will attempt to cancel the input, and if the input is cancelled, the returned Future will receive a callback in which it will attempt to cancel itself.
 An example use of this method is to convert a serializable object returned from an RPC into a POJO.
 Parameters:
 
 input - The future to transform
 
 function - A Function to transform the results of the provided future to the results of the returned future. This will be run in the thread that notifies input it is complete.
 
 Returns:
 
 A future that holds result of the transformation.

 - transform
```
public static <I,O> ListenableFuture<O> transform(ListenableFuture input,
 Function<? super I,? extends O> function,
 Executor executor)
```
 Returns a new Future whose result is derived from the result of the given Future. If input fails, the returned Future fails with the same exception (and the function is not invoked). Example usage:
```
 ListenableFuture<QueryResult> queryFuture = ...;
 ListenableFuture<List<Row>> rowsFuture =
 transform(queryFuture, QueryResult::getRows, executor);
 
```
 When selecting an executor, note that directExecutor is dangerous in some cases. See the discussion in the ListenableFuture.addListener documentation. All its warnings about heavyweight listeners are also applicable to heavyweight functions passed to this method.

 Parameters:
 
 input - The future to transform

 - lazyTransform
```
@GwtIncompatible
public static <I,O> Future<O> lazyTransform(Future input,
 Function<? super I,? extends O> function)
```
 Like transform(ListenableFuture, Function, Executor) except that the transformation function is invoked on each call to get() on the returned future.
 The returned Future reflects the input's cancellation state directly, and any attempt to cancel the returned Future is likewise passed through to the input Future.
 Note that calls to timed get only apply the timeout to the execution of the underlying Future, not to the execution of the transformation function.
 The primary audience of this method is callers of transform who don't have a ListenableFuture available and do not mind repeated, lazy function evaluation.
 
 Parameters:
 
 input - The future to transform
 
 function - A Function to transform the results of the provided future to the results of the returned future.
 
 Returns:
 
 A future that returns the result of the transformation.

 - inCompletionOrder
```
@Beta
public static <T> ImmutableList<ListenableFuture<T>> inCompletionOrder(Iterable<? extends ListenableFuture<? extends T>> futures)
```
 Returns a list of delegate futures that correspond to the futures received in the order that they complete. Delegate futures return the same value or throw the same exception as the corresponding input future returns/throws.
 "In the order that they complete" means, for practical purposes, about what you would expect, but there are some subtleties. First, we do guarantee that, if the output future at index n is done, the output future at index n-1 is also done. (But as usual with futures, some listeners for future n may complete before some for future n-1.) However, it is possible, if one input completes with result X and another later with result Y, for Y to come before X in the output future list. (Such races are impossible to solve without global synchronization of all future completions. And they should have little practical impact.)
 Cancelling a delegate future propagates to input futures once all the delegates complete, either from cancellation or because an input future has completed. If N futures are passed in, and M delegates are cancelled, the remaining M input futures will be cancelled once N - M of the input futures complete. If all the delegates are cancelled, all the input futures will be too.

 - addCallback
```
@Deprecated
public static <V> void addCallback(ListenableFuture<V> future,
 FutureCallback<? super V> callback)
```
 Deprecated. Use the overload that requires an executor. For identical behavior, pass MoreExecutors.directExecutor(), but consider whether another executor would be safer, as discussed in the ListenableFuture.addListener documentation. This method is scheduled to be removed in April 2018.
 Registers separate success and failure callbacks to be run when the Future's computation is complete or, if the computation is already complete, immediately.
 There is no guaranteed ordering of execution of callbacks, but any callback added through this method is guaranteed to be called once the computation is complete.
 Example:
```
 ListenableFuture<QueryResult> future = ...;
 addCallback(future,
 new FutureCallback<QueryResult>() {
 public void onSuccess(QueryResult result) {
 storeInCache(result);
 }
 public void onFailure(Throwable t) {
 reportError(t);
 }
 });
 
```
 This overload, which does not accept an executor, uses directExecutor, a dangerous choice in some cases. See the discussion in the ListenableFuture.addListener documentation. All its warnings about heavyweight listeners are also applicable to heavyweight callbacks passed to this method.
 For a more general interface to attach a completion listener to a Future, see addListener.
 Parameters:
 
 future - The future attach the callback to.
 
 callback - The callback to invoke when future is completed.

 10.0
 - addCallback
```
public static <V> void addCallback(ListenableFuture<V> future,
 FutureCallback<? super V> callback,
 Executor executor)
```
 Registers separate success and failure callbacks to be run when the Future's computation is complete or, if the computation is already complete, immediately.
 The callback is run on executor. There is no guaranteed ordering of execution of callbacks, but any callback added through this method is guaranteed to be called once the computation is complete.
 Example:
```
 ListenableFuture<QueryResult> future = ...;
 Executor e = ...
 addCallback(future,
 new FutureCallback<QueryResult>() {
 public void onSuccess(QueryResult result) {
 storeInCache(result);
 }
 public void onFailure(Throwable t) {
 reportError(t);
 }
 }, e);

 - getDone
```
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public static <V> V getDone(Future<V> future)
 throws ExecutionException
```
 Returns the result of the input Future, which must have already completed.
 The benefits of this method are twofold. First, the name "getDone" suggests to readers that the Future is already done. Second, if buggy code calls getDone on a Future that is still pending, the program will throw instead of block. This can be important for APIs like whenAllComplete(...).call(...), where it is easy to use a new input from the call implementation but forget to add it to the arguments of whenAllComplete.
 If you are looking for a method to determine whether a given Future is done, use the instance method Future.isDone().
 
 Throws:
 
 ExecutionException - if the Future failed with an exception
 
 CancellationException - if the Future was cancelled
 
 IllegalStateException - if the Future is not done

```
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
 @GwtIncompatible
public static <V,X extends Exception> V getChecked(Future<V> future,
 Class<X> exceptionClass)
 throws X extends Exception
```
 Returns the result of Future.get(), converting most exceptions to a new instance of the given checked exception type. This reduces boilerplate for a common use of Future in which it is unnecessary to programmatically distinguish between exception types or to extract other information from the exception instance.
 Exceptions from Future.get are treated as follows:
 - Any ExecutionException has its cause wrapped in an X if the cause is a checked exception, an UncheckedExecutionException if the cause is a RuntimeException, or an ExecutionError if the cause is an Error.
 - Any InterruptedException is wrapped in an X (after restoring the interrupt).
 - Any CancellationException is propagated untouched, as is any other RuntimeException (though get implementations are discouraged from throwing such exceptions).
 The overall principle is to continue to treat every checked exception as a checked exception, every unchecked exception as an unchecked exception, and every error as an error. In addition, the cause of any ExecutionException is wrapped in order to ensure that the new stack trace matches that of the current thread.
 Instances of exceptionClass are created by choosing an arbitrary public constructor that accepts zero or more arguments, all of type String or Throwable (preferring constructors with at least one String) and calling the constructor via reflection. If the exception did not already have a cause, one is set by calling Throwable.initCause(Throwable) on it. If no such constructor exists, an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.
 Throws:
 
 X - if get throws any checked exception except for an ExecutionException whose cause is not itself a checked exception
 
 UncheckedExecutionException - if get throws an ExecutionException with a RuntimeException as its cause
 
 ExecutionError - if get throws an ExecutionException with an Error as its cause
 
 CancellationException - if get throws a CancellationException
 
 IllegalArgumentException - if exceptionClass extends RuntimeException or does not have a suitable constructor

 Returns the result of Future.get(long, TimeUnit), converting most exceptions to a new instance of the given checked exception type. This reduces boilerplate for a common use of Future in which it is unnecessary to programmatically distinguish between exception types or to extract other information from the exception instance.
 Exceptions from Future.get are treated as follows:
 - Any ExecutionException has its cause wrapped in an X if the cause is a checked exception, an UncheckedExecutionException if the cause is a RuntimeException, or an ExecutionError if the cause is an Error.
 - Any InterruptedException is wrapped in an X (after restoring the interrupt).
 - Any TimeoutException is wrapped in an X.
 - Any CancellationException is propagated untouched, as is any other RuntimeException (though get implementations are discouraged from throwing such exceptions).

 - getUnchecked
```
@CanIgnoreReturnValue
public static <V> V getUnchecked(Future<V> future)
```
 Returns the result of calling Future.get() uninterruptibly on a task known not to throw a checked exception. This makes Future more suitable for lightweight, fast-running tasks that, barring bugs in the code, will not fail. This gives it exception-handling behavior similar to that of ForkJoinTask.join.
 Exceptions from Future.get are treated as follows:
 - Any ExecutionException has its cause wrapped in an UncheckedExecutionException (if the cause is an Exception) or ExecutionError (if the cause is an Error).
 - Any InterruptedException causes a retry of the get call. The interrupt is restored before getUnchecked returns.
 - Any CancellationException is propagated untouched. So is any other RuntimeException (get implementations are discouraged from throwing such exceptions).
 The overall principle is to eliminate all checked exceptions: to loop to avoid InterruptedException, to pass through CancellationException, and to wrap any exception from the underlying computation in an UncheckedExecutionException or ExecutionError.
 For an uninterruptible get that preserves other exceptions, see Uninterruptibles.getUninterruptibly(Future).
 Throws:
 
 UncheckedExecutionException - if get throws an ExecutionException with an Exception as its cause
 
 ExecutionError - if get throws an ExecutionException with an Error as its cause
 
 CancellationException - if get throws a CancellationException
