Aleksey Yeschenko resolved CASSANDRA-8565. ------------------------------------------ Resolution: Later > opinion on refactoring ListenableFuture to Java 8 CompletableFuture > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-8565 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8565 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Yu Lin > Priority: Minor > > Hi, I'm doing research on new concurrent constructs in Java 8. I found > CompletableFuture in Java 8 has the same functionality as Guava > ListenableFuture. But CompletableFuture is much nicer because it comes > together with Lambda expression in Java 8, and it is monadic, which makes the > code more readable and cleaner. Also, it provides more ways to compose > different tasks. Therefore, using CompletableFuture instead of > ListenableFuture is better for future extension and maintenance of the code. > I also created a pull request on the Github repo and refactored one > ListenableFuture instance, so you can see the diff (you don't have to apply > that patch): > https://github.com/apache/cassandra/pull/50 > I'm just wondering your opinion on this kind of refactoring (or migrating the > code from Java 7 to Java 8). Do you think the refactoring is useful? Do you > have any plan to use Java 8? -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
