Future

class Future

Bases: object

Future is used for representing an asynchronous computation result.

logger = <logging.Logger object>

set_result(result)

Sets the result of the Future.

Parameters:result – Result of the Future.

set_exception(exception, traceback=None)

Sets the exception for this Future in case of errors.

Parameters:

• exception – (Exception), exception to be threw in case of error.
• traceback – (Function), function to be called on traceback (optional).

result()

Returns the result of the Future, which makes the call synchronous if the result has not been computed yet.

Returns:Result of the Future.

is_success()

Determines whether the result can be successfully computed or not.

done()

Determines whether the result is computed or not.

Returns:(bool), true if the result is computed, false otherwise.

running()

Determines whether the asynchronous call, the computation is still running or not.

Returns:(bool), true if the result is being computed, false otherwise.

exception()

Throws exception. :return: (Exception), exception of this Future.

traceback()

Traceback function for the Future.

add_done_callback(callback)

continue_with(continuation_func, *args)

Create a continuation that executes when the Future is completed.

Parameters:continuation_func – A function which takes the future as the only parameter. Return value of the function

will be set as the result of the continuation future. :return: A new Future which will be completed when the continuation is done.

class ImmediateFuture(result)

Bases: hazelcast.future.Future

set_exception(exception)

Parameters:

• exception – (Exception), exception to be threw in case of error.
• traceback – (Function), function to be called on traceback (optional).

set_result(result)

Sets the result of the Future.

Parameters:result – Result of the Future.

done()

Determines whether the result is computed or not.

Returns:(bool), true if the result is computed, false otherwise.

is_success()

Determines whether the result can be successfully computed or not.

exception()

Throws exception. :return: (Exception), exception of this Future.

traceback()

Traceback function for the Future.

result()

Returns the result of the Future, which makes the call synchronous if the result has not been computed yet.

Returns:Result of the Future.

add_done_callback(callback)

class ImmediateExceptionFuture(exception, traceback=None)

Bases: hazelcast.future.Future

set_exception(exception, traceback=None)

• traceback – (Function), function to be called on traceback (optional).

set_result(result)

Sets the result of the Future.

Parameters:result – Result of the Future.

done()

Determines whether the result is computed or not.

Returns:(bool), true if the result is computed, false otherwise.

is_success()

Determines whether the result can be successfully computed or not.

exception()

Throws exception. :return: (Exception), exception of this Future.

traceback()

Traceback function for the Future.

result()

Returns the result of the Future, which makes the call synchronous if the result has not been computed yet.

Returns:Result of the Future.

add_done_callback(callback)

combine_futures(*futures)

Combines set of Futures.

Parameters:futures – (Futures), Futures to be combined. Returns:Result of the combination.

make_blocking(instance)

Takes an instance and returns an object whose methods which return non-blocking Future become blocking calls. :param instance: (object), a non-blocking instance. :return: (object), blocking version of given non-blocking instance.
