/**
 * The result of an asynchronous {@link ChannelGroup} operation.
 * {@link ChannelGroupFuture} is composed of {@link ChannelFuture}s which
 * represent the outcome of the individual I/O operations that affect the
 * {@link Channel}s in the {@link ChannelGroup}.
 *
 * 

* All I/O operations in {@link ChannelGroup} are asynchronous. It means any * I/O calls will return immediately with no guarantee that the requested I/O * operations have been completed at the end of the call. Instead, you will be * returned with a {@link ChannelGroupFuture} instance which tells you when the * requested I/O operations have succeeded, failed, or cancelled. *

* Various methods are provided to let you check if the I/O operations has been * completed, wait for the completion, and retrieve the result of the I/O * operation. It also allows you to add more than one * {@link ChannelGroupFutureListener} so you can get notified when the I/O * operation have been completed. * *

Prefer {@link #addListener(ChannelGroupFutureListener)} to {@link #await()}

* * It is recommended to prefer {@link #addListener(ChannelGroupFutureListener)} to * {@link #await()} wherever possible to get notified when I/O operations are * done and to do any follow-up tasks. *

* {@link #addListener(ChannelGroupFutureListener)} is non-blocking. It simply * adds the specified {@link ChannelGroupFutureListener} to the * {@link ChannelGroupFuture}, and I/O thread will notify the listeners when * the I/O operations associated with the future is done. * {@link ChannelGroupFutureListener} yields the best performance and resource * utilization because it does not block at all, but it could be tricky to * implement a sequential logic if you are not used to event-driven programming. *

* By contrast, {@link #await()} is a blocking operation. Once called, the * caller thread blocks until all I/O operations are done. It is easier to * implement a sequential logic with {@link #await()}, but the caller thread * blocks unnecessarily until all I/O operations are done and there's relatively * expensive cost of inter-thread notification. Moreover, there's a chance of * dead lock in a particular circumstance, which is described below. * *

Do not call {@link #await()} inside {@link ChannelHandler}

*

* The event handler methods in {@link ChannelHandler} is often called by * an I/O thread unless an {@link ExecutionHandler} is in the * {@link ChannelPipeline}. If {@link #await()} is called by an event handler * method, which is called by the I/O thread, the I/O operation it is waiting * for might never be complete because {@link #await()} can block the I/O * operation it is waiting for, which is a dead lock. *

 * // BAD - NEVER DO THIS
 * {@code @Override}
 * public void messageReceived({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, {@link MessageEvent} e) {
 *     if (e.getMessage() instanceof ShutdownMessage) {
 *         {@link ChannelGroup} allChannels = MyServer.getAllChannels();
 *         {@link ChannelGroupFuture} future = allChannels.close();
 *         future.awaitUninterruptibly();
 *         // Perform post-shutdown operation
 *         // ...
 *     }
 * }
 *
 * // GOOD
 * {@code @Override}
 * public void messageReceived(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, MessageEvent e) {
 *     if (e.getMessage() instanceof ShutdownMessage) {
 *         {@link ChannelGroup} allChannels = MyServer.getAllChannels();
 *         {@link ChannelGroupFuture} future = allChannels.close();
 *         future.addListener(new {@link ChannelGroupFutureListener}() {
 *             public void operationComplete({@link ChannelGroupFuture} future) {
 *                 // Perform post-closure operation
 *                 // ...
 *             }
 *         });
 *     }
 * }
 * 
*

* In spite of the disadvantages mentioned above, there are certainly the cases * where it is more convenient to call {@link #await()}. In such a case, please * make sure you do not call {@link #await()} in an I/O thread. Otherwise, * {@link IllegalStateException} will be raised to prevent a dead lock. * @apiviz.owns org.jboss.netty.channel.group.ChannelGroupFutureListener - - notifies */ public interface ChannelGroupFuture extends Iterable { /** * Returns the {@link ChannelGroup} which is associated with this future. */ ChannelGroup getGroup(); /** * Returns the {@link ChannelFuture} of the individual I/O operation which * is associated with the {@link Channel} whose ID matches the specified * integer. * * @return the matching {@link ChannelFuture} if found. * {@code null} otherwise. */ ChannelFuture find(Integer channelId); /** * Returns the {@link ChannelFuture} of the individual I/O operation which * is associated with the specified {@link Channel}. * * @return the matching {@link ChannelFuture} if found. * {@code null} otherwise. */ ChannelFuture find(Channel channel); /** * Returns {@code true} if and only if this future is * complete, regardless of whether the operation was successful, failed, * or canceled. */ boolean isDone(); /** * Returns {@code true} if and only if all I/O operations associated with * this future were successful without any failure. */ boolean isCompleteSuccess(); /** * Returns {@code true} if and only if the I/O operations associated with * this future were partially successful with some failure. */ boolean isPartialSuccess(); /** * Returns {@code true} if and only if all I/O operations associated with * this future have failed without any success. */ boolean isCompleteFailure(); /** * Returns {@code true} if and only if the I/O operations associated with * this future have failed partially with some success. */ boolean isPartialFailure(); /** * Adds the specified listener to this future.
