How can I handle errors in concurrent futures?

You can handle errors in concurrent futures by using the as_completed method or by checking the results of the futures.

Can you give me an example of using as_completed?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor, as_completed

def task(n):
    if n == 2:
        raise ValueError('An error occurred!')
    return n * 2

with ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor:
    futures = {executor.submit(task, i): i for i in range(5)}
    for future in as_completed(futures):
        try:
            result = future.result()
            print(f'Result: {result}')
        except Exception as e:
            print(f'Error: {e}')

What happens if I don't handle the exceptions?

If you don't handle exceptions, they will propagate and can cause your program to crash, leading to unhandled errors.

Are there any best practices for error handling in concurrent futures?

Yes, some best practices include logging errors, using timeouts, and ensuring that your tasks are idempotent.
