Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-5851:
-------------------------------------
My preference would be to stay with the {{(Completable)Future}} naming scheme.
For some reason, the term {{Promise}} never resonated with me, especially since
completing it with an exception seems totally valid, but "breaks" the promise.
> Renaming AsyncCollector into ResultPromise/ResultFuture

> Fix For: 1.3.0

> Currently, the async I/O API gives an {{AsyncCollector}} to an
> {{AsyncFunction}} implementation. The name does not really reflect what the
> {{AsyncCollector}} does since it does not collect but is actually a one time
> completable future. Therefore, I propose to rename the {{AsyncCollector}}
> into {{ResultPromise}} or {{ResultFuture}}. This is API changing.
