> *Problem*
> We allow users to pass continuations to {{IgniteFuture}} which will be executed on future completion. This can be done through {{listen}} or {{chain}} methods.
> However, continuation semantics is broken intrinsically:
> 1) If future is already completed, user code executed in the same thread;
> 2) If future is not completed yet, it will be executed in completion thread.
> Neither of this options are valid because it easily leads to starvation. E.g.:
> {code}
> IgniteFuture fut = cache.getAsync(key2);
> fut.listen(fut0 -> {
>      cache.put(key2, val2); // Possible deadlock, because invoked in sys pool;
> });
> {code}
> *Solution*
> 1) By default callbacks must be executed asynchronously in some common pool (public pool? new "callback pool"? FJP?)
> 2) It should be possible to specify where to execute a callback explicitly:
> {code}
> IgniteFuture.listen(IgniteClosure, ExecutorService);
> {code}
> 3) We may want to expose our public pool on API for convenience.
