Await (original) (raw)
scala.concurrent.Await
Await
is what is used to ensure proper handling of blocking for Awaitable
instances.
While occasionally useful, e.g. for testing, it is recommended that you avoid Await whenever possible— instead favoring combinators and/or callbacks. Await's result
and ready
methods will block the calling thread's execution until they return, which will cause performance degradation, and possibly, deadlock issues.

Await the "completed" state of an Awaitable

Await the "completed" state of an Awaitable
.
Although this method is blocking, the internal use of blocking ensures that the underlying ExecutionContext is given an opportunity to properly manage the blocking.
WARNING: It is strongly discouraged to supply lengthy timeouts since the progress of the calling thread will be suspended—blocked—until either the Awaitable
becomes ready or the timeout expires.
Value parameters
atMost
maximum wait time, which may be negative (no waiting is done), Duration.Inf for unbounded waiting, or a finite positive duration
awaitable
the Awaitable
to be awaited
Attributes
Returns
the awaitable
Throws
TimeoutException if after waiting for the specified time this Awaitable
is still not ready
