  - orderedFuture
```
public static <T> CompletableFuture<T> orderedFuture(CompletableFuture<T> future,
                                                     Executor orderedExecutor,
                                                     Executor threadPoolExecutor)
```
    Returns a future that's completed using the given orderedExecutor if the future is not blocked or the given threadPoolExecutor if the future is blocked.
    This method allows futures to maintain single-thread semantics via the provided orderedExecutor while ensuring user code can block without blocking completion of futures. When the returned future or any of its descendants is blocked on a CompletableFuture.get() or CompletableFuture.join() call, completion of the returned future will be done using the provided threadPoolExecutor.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - future value type
    
    Parameters:
    
    future - the future to convert into an asynchronous future
    
    orderedExecutor - the ordered executor with which to attempt to complete the future
    
    threadPoolExecutor - the backup executor with which to complete blocked futures
    
    Returns:
    
    a new completable future to be completed using the provided executor once the provided future is complete
