Future<V>

public interface Future<V> {
    boolean cancel(boolean mayInterruptIfRunning);
    boolean isCancelled();
    boolean isDone();
    V get() throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException;
    V get(long timeout, TimeUnit unit)
        throws InterruptedException, ExecutionException, TimeoutException;
}

JDK5提供了Future接口来代表Callable接口里call()方法的返回值，并为Future接口提供了一个FutureTask实现类，该实现类实现了Future接口，并实现了Runnable接口---可以作为Thread类的target。
