[infinispan-dev] Distributed Executor remote cancellation

Recently we have been moving a lot of our methods that return Future [1] to CompletableFuture [2]. Unfortunately the latter, CompletableFuture, doesn't allow for cancellation of the future, since there is no thread tied to it. So I am proposing that our DistributedExecutorService [3] no longer allows for interruption of remote threads on a cancellation. This way we can have our distributed executor service return CompletableFuture instances which do not support interruption. Also to note that DistributedExecutorService extends ExecutorService which returns a normal Future which is documented as allowing cancellation. In this case I would just document on DistributedExecutorService that we don't support interruption anyways. Does anyone require the use of interruptable tasks with Distributed Executor?
