MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Introduction: A functional world
● Purely functional: whole world could be implemented
in a single functional line
● Functional features
○ Robust
○ Debuggable
○ Predictable
○ Pluggable

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
● Example
type Context = (Input,Output,Error)
type Action = Context => (Context,Event)
def main(
actions: Iterable[Action],
context: Context):(Context,Seq[Event]) = {
((context,Seq.empty[Event]) /: actions) {
case ((context,events),action) =>
action.apply(context) match {
case (context,event) => (context, events :+ event)
}
}
}

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
● Problem? World actions are not precalculated.
What happens to I/O?
● World can be considered as
○ asynchronous: Things may happen at same time
○ reactive: Things may happen due to
■ actions: that trigger …
■ ...events: action consequences.

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Introduction: Runnable & Callable
● java.lang.Runnable
trait Runnable {
def run(): Unit
}
● java.util.concurrent.Callable
trait Callable[V] {
def call(): V
}

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Introduction: Threads
● Scala’s concurrency model is built on Java’s
● java.lang.Thread
val myThread = new Thread(new Runnable {
def run(){
println(“hi”)
}
}
myThread.start()
● Thread improvements (ExecutorService ~ Thread pool)
● Anyway, Threads abstraction level is too low

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
What about Scala and threads?

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Overview
● By default, non-blocking operations
● They will hold a T value at some point
● So a future may be uncompleted(it has no value yet) or
completed
● Completion will be treated as a scala.util.Try value
It will have two possible values:
○ Success(t: T)
○ Failure(t: Throwable)

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Overview
● Future example
import scala.concurrent._
import ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
val firstPrimeNumbers: Future[List[Int]] = Future {
List(1,2,3,5,7,11,13)
//what if 'calculateFirstPrimeNumbers(100000000)'…
}
res0: Future[List[Int]]

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Overview
● Failing Future example
import ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
val thisWillFail: Future[Int] = Future(2 / 0)
res0: Future[Int]

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: ExecutionContext
● A future, once it’s completed, it never changes of value
● An ExecutionContext
○ executes tasks submitted to them.
○ They can be seen as thread pools.
○ Most of future ops require an implicit
ExecutionContext.

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Expecting results
● Expecting results.
○ Blocker way (discouraged but sometimes
mandatory).
○ Non-blocker way: using callbacks

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Blocking - Await
● Blocking: Await.result / Await.ready
import scala.concurrent.duration._
import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
val f: Future[Int] = Future{
Thread.sleep(10000)
2
}
println(Await.result(f,12.seconds))
//2

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Blocking - Await
● Blocking: Await (Problem: Not enough time)
import scala.concurrent.duration._
Thread.sleep(10000)
2
}
println(Await.result(f,5.seconds))
java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Futures timed out after
[5 seconds]

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Non-blocking - Callbacks
● Non-Blocking: callbacks
Thread.sleep(10000)
2
}
f.onComplete( n => println(n) )
//at some point, “Success(2)” will appear
Non-blocking

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Callbacks
● Callbacks will be executed asynchronously when future
is completed
● type Callback = Try[T] => Unit
● Try[T] ~ Either[Throwable,T]
○ Left(throwable) ~ Failure(throwable)
○ Right(t) ~ Success(t)

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Callbacks
● onComplete
f.onComplete( (t: Try[Int]) => println(t) )
//Success(2)
● onSuccess
f.onSuccess( n => println(n) )
//2
● onFailure
f.onFailure( throwable => println(throwable.getMessage) )
//it will never print an error (because it equals Success(2))

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Operations
● map
def getFirstMillionOfPrimes(): Future[List[Int]] = ???
getFirstMillionOfPrimes().map(
(list: List[Int]) => list.head)
res0: Future[Int]

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Operations
● flatMap
def getFirstMillionOfPrimes(): Future[List[Int]] = ???
def concatenate(l: List[Int]): Future[String] = ???
getFirstMillionOfPrimes().flatMap(
(list: List[Int]) => concatenate(list))
res0: Future[String]

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Monad behavior
● Composition
○ Future is like a monad
■ Point Function: Future.apply
■ Bind Function: flatMap
■ Some math properties and so...
○ Since Future has map,flatMap,filter methods;
it can be composed easily in a for-comprehension

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Composition
● Problem
var result: String = “”
val f1: Future[Unit] = Future{
result += “Hi ”
}
val f2: Future[Unit] = Future{
result += “ everyone”
}
● result value? “Hi everyone”? “ everyoneHi”?

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Composition
● for-comprehension is your friend
for {
primes <- getFirstMillionPrimes()
primesString <- concatenate(primes)
} yield primesString
res0: Future[String]
Future[List[Int]]
Future[String]

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future: Recovering from failure
● recover
1 / 0
}.recover{
case e: ArithmeticException => 0
}

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
● recoverWith
1 / 0
}.recoverWith{
case e: ArithmeticException => Future(0)
}

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
● fallbackTo
val f1: Future[Int] = Future{
1 / 0
}
val f2: Future[Int] = Future(0)
val f = f1 fallbackTo f2

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Promise: Overview
● Futures can be created by
○ Future.apply
○ Promises
● You can think about it like
○ Future ~ Read future value
○ Promise ~ Write future value
● Promises are single-assigned (just once. Immutable as
futures)

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Promise: Baggage & claim
Menu
order
Menu

Cooked
Ticket
Menu ready

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Promise: Baggage & claim
Begin
completion
Future[T]
p.success
or
p.failure
Try[T]
Promise[T]

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Promise: example
val r: T = produceSomething()
p success r
doSomethingElse()
startDoingSomething()
f onSuccess {
case r: T => handleResult()
}
val p = promise[T]
val f = p.future
Producer Consumer

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Promise: completion
● complete
val p = promise[Int]
p.complete(Try(2))
● completeWith
val p = promise[Int]
p.completeWith(Future(2))

MADRID · NOV 27-28 · 2015
Future alternatives
● Scalaz futures
● Scala’s async library
