CompletableFuture (Java Platform SE 8 )

java.lang.Object
- java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

CompletionStage<T>, Future<T>
```
public class CompletableFuture<T>
extends Object
implements Future<T>, CompletionStage<T>
```
A Future that may be explicitly completed (setting its value and status), and may be used as a CompletionStage, supporting dependent functions and actions that trigger upon its completion.
When two or more threads attempt to complete, completeExceptionally, or cancel a CompletableFuture, only one of them succeeds.
In addition to these and related methods for directly manipulating status and results, CompletableFuture implements interface CompletionStage with the following policies:
- Actions supplied for dependent completions of non-async methods may be performed by the thread that completes the current CompletableFuture, or by any other caller of a completion method.
- All async methods without an explicit Executor argument are performed using the ForkJoinPool.commonPool() (unless it does not support a parallelism level of at least two, in which case, a new Thread is used). To simplify monitoring, debugging, and tracking, all generated asynchronous tasks are instances of the marker interface CompletableFuture.AsynchronousCompletionTask.
- All CompletionStage methods are implemented independently of other public methods, so the behavior of one method is not impacted by overrides of others in subclasses.
CompletableFuture also implements Future with the following policies:
- Since (unlike FutureTask) this class has no direct control over the computation that causes it to be completed, cancellation is treated as just another form of exceptional completion. Method cancel has the same effect as completeExceptionally(new CancellationException()). Method isCompletedExceptionally() can be used to determine if a CompletableFuture completed in any exceptional fashion.
- In case of exceptional completion with a CompletionException, methods get() and get(long, TimeUnit) throw an ExecutionException with the same cause as held in the corresponding CompletionException. To simplify usage in most contexts, this class also defines methods join() and getNow(T) that instead throw the CompletionException directly in these cases.

 - exceptionally
```
public CompletableFuture<T> exceptionally(Function<Throwable,? extends T> fn)
```
 Returns a new CompletableFuture that is completed when this CompletableFuture completes, with the result of the given function of the exception triggering this CompletableFuture's completion when it completes exceptionally; otherwise, if this CompletableFuture completes normally, then the returned CompletableFuture also completes normally with the same value. Note: More flexible versions of this functionality are available using methods whenComplete and handle.
 
 Specified by:
 
 exceptionally in interface CompletionStage<T>
 
 Parameters:
 
 fn - the function to use to compute the value of the returned CompletableFuture if this CompletableFuture completed exceptionally
 
 Returns:
 
 the new CompletableFuture
 - allOf
```
public static CompletableFuture<Void> allOf(CompletableFuture<?>... cfs)
```
 Returns a new CompletableFuture that is completed when all of the given CompletableFutures complete. If any of the given CompletableFutures complete exceptionally, then the returned CompletableFuture also does so, with a CompletionException holding this exception as its cause. Otherwise, the results, if any, of the given CompletableFutures are not reflected in the returned CompletableFuture, but may be obtained by inspecting them individually. If no CompletableFutures are provided, returns a CompletableFuture completed with the value null.
 Among the applications of this method is to await completion of a set of independent CompletableFutures before continuing a program, as in: CompletableFuture.allOf(c1, c2, c3).join();.
 
 Parameters:
 
 cfs - the CompletableFutures
 
 Returns:
 
 a new CompletableFuture that is completed when all of the given CompletableFutures complete
 
 Throws:
 
 NullPointerException - if the array or any of its elements are null
 - anyOf
```
public static CompletableFuture<Object> anyOf(CompletableFuture<?>... cfs)
```
 Returns a new CompletableFuture that is completed when any of the given CompletableFutures complete, with the same result. Otherwise, if it completed exceptionally, the returned CompletableFuture also does so, with a CompletionException holding this exception as its cause. If no CompletableFutures are provided, returns an incomplete CompletableFuture.
 
 Parameters:
 
 cfs - the CompletableFutures
 
 Returns:
 
 a new CompletableFuture that is completed with the result or exception of any of the given CompletableFutures when one completes
 
 Throws:
 
 NullPointerException - if the array or any of its elements are null
 - cancel
```
public boolean cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning)
```
 If not already completed, completes this CompletableFuture with a CancellationException. Dependent CompletableFutures that have not already completed will also complete exceptionally, with a CompletionException caused by this CancellationException.
 
 Specified by:
 
 cancel in interface Future<T>
 
 Parameters:
 
 mayInterruptIfRunning - this value has no effect in this implementation because interrupts are not used to control processing.
 
 Returns:
 
 true if this task is now cancelled
 - isCancelled
```
public boolean isCancelled()
```
 Returns true if this CompletableFuture was cancelled before it completed normally.
 
 Specified by:
 
 isCancelled in interface Future<T>
 
 Returns:
 
 true if this CompletableFuture was cancelled before it completed normally
 - isCompletedExceptionally
```
public boolean isCompletedExceptionally()
```
 Returns true if this CompletableFuture completed exceptionally, in any way. Possible causes include cancellation, explicit invocation of completeExceptionally, and abrupt termination of a CompletionStage action.
 
 Returns:
 
 true if this CompletableFuture completed exceptionally
 - obtrudeValue
```
public void obtrudeValue(T value)
```
 Forcibly sets or resets the value subsequently returned by method get() and related methods, whether or not already completed. This method is designed for use only in error recovery actions, and even in such situations may result in ongoing dependent completions using established versus overwritten outcomes.
 
 Parameters:
 
 value - the completion value
 - obtrudeException
```
public void obtrudeException(Throwable ex)
```
 Forcibly causes subsequent invocations of method get() and related methods to throw the given exception, whether or not already completed. This method is designed for use only in recovery actions, and even in such situations may result in ongoing dependent completions using established versus overwritten outcomes.
 
 Parameters:
 
 ex - the exception
 - getNumberOfDependents
```
public int getNumberOfDependents()
```
 Returns the estimated number of CompletableFutures whose completions are awaiting completion of this CompletableFuture. This method is designed for use in monitoring system state, not for synchronization control.
 
 Returns:
 
 the number of dependent CompletableFutures
 - toString
```
public String toString()
```
 Returns a string identifying this CompletableFuture, as well as its completion state. The state, in brackets, contains the String "Completed Normally" or the String "Completed Exceptionally", or the String "Not completed" followed by the number of CompletableFutures dependent upon its completion, if any.
 
 Overrides:
 
 toString in class Object
 
 Returns:
 
 a string identifying this CompletableFuture, as well as its state
