Andrew Purtell commented on HADOOP-12910:
-----------------------------------------
bq. Future based api will be of immediate help for Hive.
Does 'immediate' mean the Hive code using the proposed API has already been
written?
bq. Threadpool based approach complicates Hive code base for maintainability
and is not preferable.
This desire not to use a threadpool argues against a Future based approach.

> 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.
