README

        
This code given here explains how to return a custom FutureTask when you 

submit a Callable to an ExecutorService. This is helpful in the following 

cases:

 

1. To support Interruption-unfriendly task cancellation. java.net.Socket 

operations are notoriously oblivious to interruptions. Hence, tasks using 

Socket operations must support non-standard cancellation. (The best approach

to do this is to `close()` to Socket, forcing all of it's blocked methods

to throw SocketException.

 

2. To return an identifier for Callable. Useful when Tasks are assigned ID's

 and could be used to track them.
