----------------------------------------------

> As to your FutureWithCallback, where does this come from? Have you built any 
> event-driven apps with it? At first blush, it is lacking in vocabulary at 
> least when put against Deferred or CompletableFuture. Thanks.

The idea of Callback and FutureWithCallback is similar to Java Event Model 
which is a well-known model that many and many apps are built with it.  I did 
not intent to use it for replacing Deferred or CompletableFuture.  As mentioned 
previously, I propose using CompletableFuture for trunk.  Unfortunately, 
CompletableFuture is not available in branch-2 so that we need something like 
FutureWithCallback to support callbacks.

> Add new FileSystem API to support asynchronous method calls

> 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.
