# CompletableFuture

`public class CompletableFuture`
`extends Object` `implements Future<T>, CompletionStage<T>`

java.lang.Object
↳ | java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture<T>

A `Future` that may be explicitly completed (setting its value and status), and may be used as a `CompletionStage`, supporting dependent functions and actions that trigger upon its completion.

When two or more threads attempt to `complete`, `completeExceptionally`, or `cancel` a CompletableFuture, only one of them succeeds.

In addition to these and related methods for directly manipulating status and results, CompletableFuture implements interface `CompletionStage` with the following policies:

- Actions supplied for dependent completions of non-async methods may be performed by the thread that completes the current CompletableFuture, or by any other caller of a completion method.
- All async methods without an explicit Executor argument are performed using the `ForkJoinPool#commonPool()` (unless it does not support a parallelism level of at least two, in which case, a new Thread is created to run each task). To simplify monitoring, debugging, and tracking, all generated asynchronous tasks are instances of the marker interface `AsynchronousCompletionTask`. Operations with time-delays can use adapter methods defined in this class, for example: `supplyAsync(supplier, delayedExecutor(timeout, timeUnit))`. To support methods with delays and timeouts, this class maintains at most one daemon thread for triggering and cancelling actions, not for running them.
- All CompletionStage methods are implemented independently of other public methods, so the behavior of one method is not impacted by overrides of others in subclasses.

CompletableFuture also implements `Future` with the following policies:

- Since (unlike `FutureTask`) this class has no direct control over the computation that causes it to be completed, cancellation is treated as just another form of exceptional completion. Method `cancel` has the same effect as `completeExceptionally(new CancellationException())`. Method `isCompletedExceptionally()` can be used to determine if a CompletableFuture completed in any exceptional fashion.
- In case of exceptional completion with a CompletionException, methods `get()` and `get(long, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit)` throw an `ExecutionException` with the same cause as held in the corresponding CompletionException. To simplify usage in most contexts, this class also defines methods `join()` and `getNow(T)` that instead throw the CompletionException directly in these cases.

Arguments used to pass a completion result (that is, for parameters of type `T`) for methods accepting them may be null, but passing a null value for any other parameter will result in a `NullPointerException` being thrown.
