@Reza: can you clarify the behavior of this snippet please:
CompletionFuture<AnEvent> cf = asyncEvent.fireAsync(...);
cf.complete(new AnEvent()); // not deterministic even if the container will
likely get false calling complete, should it be ignored? throw an
exception? other?
That's one point where CompletionStage sounds wiser than CompletionFuture
for CDI async events. The javadoc makes the goal clear: "@return a {@link
CompletionStage} allowing further pipeline composition on the asynchronous
operation.". Using CompletionFuture opens the door to the state
manipulation which is not intended (or you have a plan for that?) and which
is easily misleading IMHO.
CompletionFuture would however make a lot of sense for some parts of EE and
to replace @Asynchronous AsyncResult hack cause there you need to handle
the state yourself. Both being compatible I see it as a consistent usage of
each API.

a
great deal about EE.

Reza-
I am in agreement with you. I agree that CompleteableFuture seems to make
more sense for asynchronous events than CompletionStage. Given that it is
widely acceptable throughout the platform, and the naming aligns more
closely with asynchronous activity...I think CompleteableFuture would be a
more consistent and standardized choice.
Thanks
