**Intent:** Asynchronous method invocation is pattern where the calling thread
|
||||
is not blocked while waiting results of tasks. The pattern provides parallel
|
||||
processing of multiple independent tasks and retrieving the results via
|
||||
callbacks or waiting until everything is done.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Applicability:** Use async method invocation pattern when
|
||||
|
||||
* you have multiple independent tasks that can run in parallel
|
||||
* you need to improve the performance of a group of sequential tasks
|
||||
* you have limited amount of processing capacity or long running tasks and the
|
||||
caller should not wait the tasks to be ready
|
||||
|
||||
**Real world examples:**
|
||||
|
||||
* [FutureTask](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/FutureTask.html), [CompletableFuture](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/CompletableFuture.html) and [ExecutorService](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ExecutorService.html) (Java)
