Add support for functions that return a Future

[pragnagopa]

Add support for functions to run async. For example

 @FunctionName("HttpTrigger-JavaAsync")
    public CompletableFuture<HttpResponseMessage> runAsync(
            @HttpTrigger(name = "req", methods = {HttpMethod.GET, HttpMethod.POST}, authLevel = AuthorizationLevel.FUNCTION) HttpRequestMessage<Optional<String>> request,
            final ExecutionContext context)

Java worker should inspect function method signature, if it returns a Future invoke it asynchronously
and if not invoke the method synchronously.

Pragna Gopa (@pragnagopa) was this ever implemented?

Not yet. We are tracking this as a feature request.

Is it possible to receive async responses with azure functions? Because I don't receive any errors when the mail can not be sent which I receive on my local environment (e.g. 500 - Internal Server error, when password is wrong).

Source from: https://quarkus.io/guides/mailer#sending-simple-emails

GET
@Path("/async")
public CompletionStage<Response> sendASimpleEmailAsync() {
    return reactiveMailer.send(
            Mail.withText("to@acme.org", "A reactive email from quarkus", "This is my body"))
            .subscribeAsCompletionStage()
            .thenApply(x -> Response.accepted().build());
}

How about returning Mono or Flux?

Hi Ahmed El Sayed (@amamounelsayed) ,

We have users asking about this capability in spring-cloud-function and It would be helpful to get an idea where this feature request stands wrt to the overall product roadmap / backlog. Can you give an update on this?

Thanks.

Hi Chris Bono (@onobc) , thanks for reaching out. I would like to understand more how customer will be using mono/flux returned by functions. Do we have some solid user cases that I can take a look and think about. Thanks.
