Jitendra Nath Pandey commented on HDFS-9924:
--------------------------------------------
The current implementation is not that far from the options being discussed
in HADOOP-12910. The CompletableFuture and ListenableFuture both extend java
Future therefore it is a compatible API. The current AsyncGetFuture extends
AbstractFuture which is a subclass of ListenableFuture. Therefore, the current
implementation may not be completely different from what we want in trunk.
I think ListenableFuture is a good choice to have a consistent API in
branch-2 and trunk, and addresses the needs of most of the downstream users.
Please weigh in your opinion on this.
I would still recommend that for now, lets add ListenableFuture to
AsyncDistributedFileSystem only, and not to the user facing API.

> This is an umbrella JIRA for supporting Asynchronous HDFS Access.
> Currently, all the API methods are blocking calls -- the caller is blocked
> until the method returns. It is very slow if a client makes a large number
> of independent calls in a single thread since each call has to wait until the
> previous call is finished. It is inefficient if a client needs to create a
> large number of threads to invoke the calls.
> We propose adding a new API to support asynchronous calls, i.e. the caller is
> not blocked. The methods in the new API immediately return a Java Future
> object. The return value can be obtained by the usual Future.get() method.
