Review comment:
       I agree, especially now that I've found there's a 
`org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.async.ResultFuture` already in the 
Flink codebase.
   
   However I couldn't find any good candidates that has just a `void complete(T 
failed)` method in the Flink codebase. A search everywhere for `void complete` 
gave a few options but none perfect... 
`org.apache.flink.streaming.api.functions.async.ResultFuture` is the closest 
fit, but has another method `completeExceptionally` which we wouldn't use and 
would confuse. 
   
   Perhaps there might be something in the Java library that fits our needs? Or 
would it be appropriate to just keep and rename this method?
