Register a FutureEventListener to be invoked when the computation completes.
Register a FutureEventListener to be invoked when the computation completes. This method is typically used by Java programs because it avoids the use of small Function objects.
Compare this method to transformedBy. The difference is that
addEventListener is used to perform a simple action when a
computation completes, such as recording data in a log-file. It
analogous to a void method in Java: it has side-effects and no
return value. transformedBy, on the other hand, is used to
transform values from one type to another, or to chain a series
of asynchronous calls and return the result. It is analogous to
methods in Java that have a return-type. Note that
transformedBy and addEventListener are not mutually
exclusive and may be profitably combined.

Implemented in terms of respond so that subclasses control evaluation order. Returns a
chained Future.
If this, the original future, succeeds, run f on the result.
If this, the original future, succeeds, run f on the result.
The returned result is a Future that is satisfied when the original future and the callback, f, are done. If the original future fails, this one will also fail, without executing f.

Invoke the callback only if the Future returns successfully.
Invoke the callback only if the Future returns successfully. Useful for Scala for
comprehensions. Use onSuccess instead of this method for more readable code.

Checks whether a Unit-typed Future is done.
Checks whether a Unit-typed Future is done. By convention, futures of type Future[Unit] are used for signalling.

Combines two Futures into one Future of the Tuple of the two results.

The returned result is a Future that is satisfied when the original future and the callback, f, are done. If the original future fails, this one will also fail, without executing f.

Raise the given throwable as an interrupt.
Raise the given throwable as an interrupt. Interrupts are
one-shot and latest-interrupt wins. That is, the last interrupt
to have been raised is delivered exactly once to the Promise
responsible for making progress on the future (multiple such
promises may be involved in flatMap chains).
Raising an interrupt does not alter the externally observable state of the Future. They are used to signal to the producer of the future's value that the result is no longer desired (for whatever reason given in the passed Throwable).
Returns a new Future that will error if this Future does not return in time.

access control mechanism: only Await.ready may call this
method.
When the computation completes, invoke the given callback function.
When the computation completes, invoke the given callback function. Respond() yields a Try (either a Return or a Throw). This method is most useful for very generic code (like libraries). Otherwise, it is a best practice to use one of the alternatives (onSuccess(), onFailure(), etc.). Note that almost all methods on Future[_] are written in terms of respond(), so this is the essential template method for use in concrete subclasses.

Transform the Future[A] into a Future[B] using the FutureTransformer.
Transform the Future[A] into a Future[B] using the FutureTransformer. The FutureTransformer handles both success (Return) and failure (Throw) values by implementing map/flatMap and handle/rescue. This method is typically used by Java programs because it avoids the use of small Function objects.
Compare this method to addEventListener. The difference is
that addEventListener is used to perform a simple action when
a computation completes, such as recording data in a log-file.

Note: The FutureTransformer must implement either flatMap
or map and may optionally implement handle. Failing to
implement a method will result in a run-time (AbstractMethod)
error.
