30   * The result of an asynchronous {@link ChannelGroup} operation.
31   * {@link ChannelGroupFuture} is composed of {@link ChannelFuture}s which
32   * represent the outcome of the individual I/O operations that affect the
33   * {@link Channel}s in the {@link ChannelGroup}.
34   *
35   * <p>
36   * All I/O operations in {@link ChannelGroup} are asynchronous.  It means any
37   * I/O calls will return immediately with no guarantee that the requested I/O
38   * operations have been completed at the end of the call.  Instead, you will be
39   * returned with a {@link ChannelGroupFuture} instance which tells you when the
40   * requested I/O operations have succeeded, failed, or cancelled.
41   * <p>
42   * Various methods are provided to let you check if the I/O operations has been
43   * completed, wait for the completion, and retrieve the result of the I/O
44   * operation. It also allows you to add more than one
45   * {@link ChannelGroupFutureListener} so you can get notified when the I/O
46   * operation have been completed.
47   *
48   * <h3>Prefer {@link #addListener(ChannelGroupFutureListener)} to {@link #await()}</h3>
49   *
50   * It is recommended to prefer {@link #addListener(ChannelGroupFutureListener)} to
51   * {@link #await()} wherever possible to get notified when I/O operations are
52   * done and to do any follow-up tasks.
53   * <p>
54   * {@link #addListener(ChannelGroupFutureListener)} is non-blocking.  It simply
55   * adds the specified {@link ChannelGroupFutureListener} to the
56   * {@link ChannelGroupFuture}, and I/O thread will notify the listeners when
57   * the I/O operations associated with the future is done.
58   * {@link ChannelGroupFutureListener} yields the best performance and resource
59   * utilization because it does not block at all, but it could be tricky to
60   * implement a sequential logic if you are not used to event-driven programming.
61   * <p>
62   * By contrast, {@link #await()} is a blocking operation.  Once called, the
63   * caller thread blocks until all I/O operations are done.  It is easier to
64   * implement a sequential logic with {@link #await()}, but the caller thread
65   * blocks unnecessarily until all I/O operations are done and there's relatively
66   * expensive cost of inter-thread notification.  Moreover, there's a chance of
67   * dead lock in a particular circumstance, which is described below.
68   *
69   * <h3>Do not call {@link #await()} inside {@link ChannelHandler}</h3>
70   * <p>
71   * The event handler methods in {@link ChannelHandler} is often called by
72   * an I/O thread unless an {@link ExecutionHandler} is in the
73   * {@link ChannelPipeline}.  If {@link #await()} is called by an event handler
74   * method, which is called by the I/O thread, the I/O operation it is waiting
75   * for might never be complete because {@link #await()} can block the I/O
76   * operation it is waiting for, which is a dead lock.
77   * <pre>
78   * // BAD - NEVER DO THIS
79   * {@code @Override}
80   * public void messageReceived({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, {@link MessageEvent} e) {
81   *     if (e.getMessage() instanceof ShutdownMessage) {
82   *         {@link ChannelGroup} allChannels = MyServer.getAllChannels();
83   *         {@link ChannelGroupFuture} future = allChannels.close();
84   *         future.awaitUninterruptibly();
85   *         // Perform post-shutdown operation
86   *         // ...
87   *     }
88   * }
89   *
90   * // GOOD
91   * {@code @Override}
92   * public void messageReceived(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, MessageEvent e) {
93   *     if (e.getMessage() instanceof ShutdownMessage) {
94   *         {@link ChannelGroup} allChannels = MyServer.getAllChannels();
95   *         {@link ChannelGroupFuture} future = allChannels.close();
96   *         future.addListener(new {@link ChannelGroupFutureListener}() {
97   *             public void operationComplete({@link ChannelGroupFuture} future) {
98   *                 // Perform post-closure operation
99   *                 // ...
100  *             }
101  *         });
102  *     }
103  * }
104  * </pre>
105  * <p>
106  * In spite of the disadvantages mentioned above, there are certainly the cases
107  * where it is more convenient to call {@link #await()}. In such a case, please
108  * make sure you do not call {@link #await()} in an I/O thread.  Otherwise,
109  * {@link IllegalStateException} will be raised to prevent a dead lock.
