V - The result type returned by this Future’s get methodpublic abstract class ForwardingListenableFuture<V> extends ForwardingFuture<V> implements ListenableFuture<V>
A ListenableFuture which forwards all its method calls to another future. Subclasses should override one or more methods to modify the behavior of the backing future as desired per the decorator pattern.
Most subclasses can just use ForwardingListenableFuture.SimpleForwardingListenableFuture.

ListenableFutureRegisters a listener to be run on the given executor. The listener will run when the Future’s computation is complete or, if the computation is already complete, immediately.
There is no guaranteed ordering of execution of listeners, but any listener added through this method is guaranteed to be called once the computation is complete.
Exceptions thrown by a listener will be propagated up to the executor. Any exception thrown during Executor.execute (e.g., a RejectedExecutionException or an exception thrown by direct execution) will be caught and logged.
Note: For fast, lightweight listeners that would be safe to execute in any thread, consider MoreExecutors.directExecutor(). Otherwise, avoid it. Heavyweight directExecutor listeners can cause problems, and these problems can be difficult to reproduce because they depend on timing. For example:
addListener. That
caller may be a UI thread or other latency-sensitive thread. This can harm
UI responsiveness.
Future. That thread may be an internal system thread such as an RPC
network thread. Blocking that thread may stall progress of the whole
system. It may even cause a deadlock.
directExecutor listeners.
This is the most general listener interface. For common operations performed using listeners, see Futures. For a simplified but general listener interface, see addCallback().
Memory consistency effects: Actions in a thread prior to adding a listener happen-before its execution begins, perhaps in another thread.
