Hi Ronald ,
taking the example above
scala>val x =3D Future{1}.filter(_ =3D=3D 0)
scala>x.value
res2: Option[scala.util.Try[Int]] =3D
Some(Failure(java.util.NoSuchElementException: Future.filter predicate is
not satisfied))

It seems odd that a legit action such as filter yields a failure with an
exception .

Cheers
Avi

 Of course it can be implemented as you suggested. But still I can argue th=
at the current implementation is not &quot;really filtering&quot; the resul=
ts as one might expect and less expressive if it might or not return the va=
