Need for a TimeoutFuture #1875

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The Guava concurrency library has a great possible use case for testing async 
code.  We have a great deal of test cases in which we are waiting for async 
event to occur, but need a timebox.  

This future could do things such as wait for a reply message to be received 
(polling for a variable to change from null to a value, or a collection to have 
a certain size, for a trite example), and the creation of the future would 
accept a time value in the constructor.  It might need a specific interface 
like the FutureCallback- onSuccess, onFailure, and onTimeOut.
