Java 8 Concurrency API includes a new synchronization mechanism with the CompletableFuture class. This class implements the Future object and the CompletionStage interface that gives it the following two characteristics:
- As the Future object, a CompletableFuture object will return a result sometime in future
- As the CompletionStage object, you can execute more asynchronous tasks after the completion of one or more CompletableFuture objects
You can work with a CompletableFuture class in different ways:
- You can create a CompletableFuture object explicitly and use it as a synchronization point between tasks. One task will establish the value returned by CompletableFuture, using the complete() method, ...
