Future

Applies the side-effecting function to the result of this future, and returns a new future with the result of this future.

This method allows one to enforce that the callbacks are executed in a specified order.

Note that if one of the chained andThen callbacks throws an exception, that exception is not propagated to the subsequent andThen callbacks. Instead, the subsequent andThen callbacks are given the original value of this future.

The following example prints out 5:

val f = Future { 5 }
f andThen {
  case r => throw new RuntimeException("runtime exception")
} andThen {
  case Failure(t) => println(t)
  case Success(v) => println(v)
}

Since this method executes asynchronously and does not produce a return value, any non-fatal exceptions thrown will be reported to the ExecutionContext.

Asynchronously processes the value in the future once the value becomes available.

WARNING: Will not be called if this future is never completed or if it is completed with a failure.

Since this method executes asynchronously and does not produce a return value, any non-fatal exceptions thrown will be reported to the ExecutionContext.

When this future is completed, either through an exception, or a value, apply the provided function.

If the future has already been completed, this will either be applied immediately or be scheduled asynchronously.

Note that the returned value of f will be discarded.

Since this method executes asynchronously and does not produce a return value, any non-fatal exceptions thrown will be reported to the ExecutionContext.

Multiple callbacks may be registered; there is no guarantee that they will be executed in a particular order.

The provided callback always runs in the provided implicit ExecutionContext, though there is no guarantee that the execute() method on the ExecutionContext will be called once per callback or that execute() will be called in the current thread. That is, the implementation may run multiple callbacks in a batch within a single execute() and it may run execute() either immediately or asynchronously. Completion of the Future must *happen-before* the invocation of the callback.

Returns whether the future had already been completed with a value or an exception.

Note: using this method yields nondeterministic dataflow programs.

The current value of this Future.

Note: using this method yields nondeterministic dataflow programs.

If the future was not completed the returned value will be None. If the future was completed the value will be Some(Success(t)) if it contained a valid result, or Some(Failure(error)) if it contained an exception.

Creates a new future by mapping the value of the current future, if the given partial function is defined at that value.

If the current future contains a value for which the partial function is defined, the new future will also hold that value. Otherwise, the resulting future will fail with a NoSuchElementException.

If the current future fails, then the resulting future also fails.

Example:

val f = Future { -5 }
val g = f collect {
  case x if x < 0 => -x
}
val h = f collect {
  case x if x > 0 => x * 2
}
g foreach println // Eventually prints 5
Await.result(h, Duration.Zero) // throw a NoSuchElementException

The returned Future will be successfully completed with the Throwable of the original Future if the original Future fails.

If the original Future is successful, the returned Future is failed with a NoSuchElementException.

This future may contain a throwable object and this means that the future failed. Futures obtained through combinators have the same exception as the future they were obtained from. The following throwable objects are not contained in the future: - Error - fatal errors are not contained within futures - InterruptedException - not contained within futures - all scala.util.control.ControlThrowable except NonLocalReturnControl - not contained within futures

Instead, the future is completed with a ExecutionException with one of the exceptions above as the cause. If a future is failed with a scala.runtime.NonLocalReturnControl, it is completed with a value from that throwable instead.

Creates a new future which holds the result of this future if it was completed successfully, or, if not, the result of the that future if that is completed successfully. If both futures are failed, the resulting future holds the throwable object of the first future.

Using this method will not cause concurrent programs to become nondeterministic.

Example:

val f = Future { throw new RuntimeException("failed") }
val g = Future { 5 }
val h = f fallbackTo g
h foreach println // Eventually prints 5

Creates a new future by filtering the value of the current future with a predicate.

If the current future contains a value which satisfies the predicate, the new future will also hold that value. Otherwise, the resulting future will fail with a NoSuchElementException.

If the current future fails, then the resulting future also fails.

Example:

val f = Future { 5 }
val g = f filter { _ % 2 == 1 }
val h = f filter { _ % 2 == 0 }
g foreach println // Eventually prints 5
Await.result(h, Duration.Zero) // throw a NoSuchElementException

Creates a new future by applying a function to the successful result of this future, and returns the result of the function as the new future. If this future is completed with an exception then the new future will also contain this exception.

Example:

val f = Future { 5 }
val g = Future { 3 }
val h = for {
  x: Int <- f // returns Future(5)
  y: Int <- g // returns Future(3)
} yield x + y

is translated to:

f flatMap { (x: Int) => g map { (y: Int) => x + y } }

Creates a new future by applying a function to the successful result of this future. If this future is completed with an exception then the new future will also contain this exception.

Example:

val f = Future { "The future" }
val g = f map { x: String => x + " is now!" }

Note that a for comprehension involving a Future may expand to include a call to map and or flatMap and withFilter. See scala.concurrent.Future#flatMap for an example of such a comprehension.

Creates a new future that will handle any matching throwable that this future might contain. If there is no match, or if this future contains a valid result then the new future will contain the same.

Example:

Future (6 / 0) recover { case e: ArithmeticException => 0 } // result: 0
Future (6 / 0) recover { case e: NotFoundException   => 0 } // result: exception
Future (6 / 2) recover { case e: ArithmeticException => 0 } // result: 3

Creates a new future that will handle any matching throwable that this future might contain by assigning it a value of another future.

If there is no match, or if this future contains a valid result then the new future will contain the same result.

Example:

val f = Future { Int.MaxValue }
Future (6 / 0) recoverWith { case e: ArithmeticException => f } // result: Int.MaxValue

Zips the values of this and that future, and creates a new future holding the tuple of their results.

If this future fails, the resulting future is failed with the throwable stored in this. Otherwise, if that future fails, the resulting future is failed with the throwable stored in that.

Zips the values of this and that future using a function f, and creates a new future holding the result.

If this future fails, the resulting future is failed with the throwable stored in this. Otherwise, if that future fails, the resulting future is failed with the throwable stored in that. If the application of f throws a throwable, the resulting future is failed with that throwable if it is non-fatal.
