[infinispan-dev] DistributedExecutionCompletionService 2.0

[Vladimir Blagojevic]

Hey,

One of the users rightfully asked for extension of 
DistributedExecutionCompletionService to include task submission to 
cluster of nodes - http://community.jboss.org/thread/175686?tstart=0

Galder and I debated the resulting 
https://github.com/infinispan/infinispan/pull/722 and have concluded 
that we want to capture the added methods in 
DistributedCompletionService<V> which extends JDK's 
CompletionService<V>. The problem is that 
DistributedCompletionService<V> is exactly the same as 
DistributedExecutorService but without generics twist. So we end up with 
essentially duplicate interface.

Now, ideally we could have DistributedExecutionCompletionService simply 
implement DistributedExecutorService and CompletionService but compiler 
does not allow us to have generics based 
DistributedExecutionCompletionService implementing non-generics based 
DistributedExecutorService with the same method definitions.

Any suggestions?

Vladimir
