convert Scala Future to Twitter Future

Question

I use Finagle as a web server which I want to return Scala-Futures from my application logic. How to convert scala.concurrent.Future to com.twitter.util.Future, in a non-blockin

Answer 1

Here's an example using the twitter bijection library:

import scala.concurrent.{Future => ScalaFuture}
import com.twitter.util.{Future => TwitterFuture}

// extend values by adding the conversion method "as"
import com.twitter.bijection.Conversion.asMethod

// pull in various implicit converters that "as" expects, 
// including twitter2ScalaFuture:
import com.twitter.bijection.twitter_util.UtilBijections._

def doSomething: ScalaFuture[T] = {
    val response: TwitterFuture[T] = ???
    response.as[ScalaFuture[T]]
}
