A cancellable asynchronous computation. This class provides a base implementation of Future, with methods to start and cancel a computation, query to see if the computation is complete, and retrieve the result of the computation. The result can only be retrieved when the computation has completed; the get methods will block if the computation has not yet completed. Once the computation has completed, the computation cannot be restarted or cancelled (unless the computation is invoked using runAndReset).

A FutureTask can be used to wrap a Callable or Runnable object. Because FutureTask implements Runnable, a FutureTask can be submitted to an Executor for execution.

In addition to serving as a standalone class, this class provides protected functionality that may be useful when creating customized task classes.

The run state of this task, initially NEW. The run state transitions to a terminal state only in methods set, setException, and cancel. During completion, state may take on transient values of COMPLETING (while outcome is being set) or INTERRUPTING (only while interrupting the runner to satisfy a cancel(true)).

Tries to unlink a timed-out or interrupted wait node to avoid accumulating garbage. Internal nodes are simply unspliced without CAS since it is harmless if they are traversed anyway by releasers. To avoid effects of unsplicing from already removed nodes, the list is retraversed in case of an apparent race. This is slow when there are a lot of nodes, but we don't expect lists to be long enough to outweigh higher-overhead schemes.
