Interface AsyncFunction<I extends @Nullable Object,O extends @Nullable Object>

Functional Interface:
This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface public interface AsyncFunction<I extends @Nullable Object,O extends @Nullable Object>
Transforms a value, possibly asynchronously. For an example usage and more information, see Futures#transformAsync(ListenableFuture, AsyncFunction, Executor).

      ListenableFuture<O> apply(I input) throws Exception
      Returns an output Future to use in place of the given input. The output Future need not be Future#isDone done, making AsyncFunction suitable for asynchronous derivations.

      Throwing an exception from this method is equivalent to returning a failing Future.
