Query: Understanding `CompletableFuture.anyOf()` Behavior — First Valid or Fastest Response?

Context: In a task to validate element usage across multiple microservices (MSAs) before deletion, I use parallel API calls with CompletableFuture to speed up the process. I need to return as soon as I receive the first confirmation that the element is in use, but I’m unclear about the behavior of CompletableFuture.anyOf(). Refer to attached file for details. The Issue: - First Approach: Works initially, but after the first deletion, the ExecutorService is shut down, causing issues with subsequent calls. - Second Approach: Using CompletableFuture.anyOf() to handle Feign calls. The question is: - Does anyOf() return the result of the first valid response (indicating the element is in use)? - Or does it return based on the fastest call, regardless of validity? Goal: Ensure execution stops and returns the first valid result, not just the fastest. Question:
- Does CompletableFuture.anyOf() prioritize the first valid response or just the fastest one?
- Any best practices for handling parallel API calls with validation?
