Andrew Wang commented on HADOOP-12910:
--------------------------------------

We could shade Deferred so it's not an external dependency, or maybe even 
copy-paste it into Hadoop. It's been pretty stable if you look at the commit 
history:

https://github.com/OpenTSDB/async/commits/master/src/Deferred.java

bq. I suggest returning Future (or a sub-interface to support callbacks) in 
branch 2 and CompletableFuture (or our own implementation of CompletableFuture) 
in trunk. In this way, trunk is backward compatible to branch 2 since 
CompletableFuture implements Future.

I like this suggestion. If there's demand for callbacks in branch-2 then we 
might as well use Deferred everywhere, but if Future is sufficient for the 
current set of usecases, then let's go with this plan.

> Add a new API, namely FutureFileSystem (or AsynchronousFileSystem, if it is a 
> better name).  All the APIs in FutureFileSystem are the same as FileSystem 
> except that the return type is wrapped by Future, e.g.
> {code}
>   //FileSystem
>   public boolean rename(Path src, Path dst) throws IOException;
>   //FutureFileSystem
>   public Future<Boolean> rename(Path src, Path dst) throws IOException;
> {code}
> Note that FutureFileSystem does not extend FileSystem.
