Deprecated Interfaces

Interface and Description

com.google.common.util.concurrent.CheckedFuture 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 class is scheduled for removal from Guava in October 2018.

Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
com.google.common.util.concurrent.AbstractCheckedFuture 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 class is scheduled for removal from Guava in October 2018.
com.google.common.collect.ForwardingBlockingDeque This class has moved to com.google.common.util.concurrent. Please use ForwardingBlockingDeque instead.
com.google.common.util.concurrent.ForwardingCheckedFuture 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 class is scheduled for removal from Guava in October 2018.
com.google.common.util.concurrent.ForwardingCheckedFuture.SimpleForwardingCheckedFuture 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.

We recommend that most people use ListenableFuture and perform any exception wrapping themselves. This class is scheduled for removal from Guava in October 2018.
com.google.common.collect.TreeTraverser Use Traverser instead. All instance methods have their equivalent on the result of Traverser.forTree(tree) where tree implements SuccessorsFunction, which has a similar API as TreeTraverser.children(T) or can be the same lambda function as passed into TreeTraverser.using(Function). This class is scheduled to be removed in October 2018.

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 October 2018.
