Interface Result<SuccessType,FailureType>

Type Parameters:
SuccessType - the return type in the event of operational success
FailureType - the return type in the event of operational failure
All Known Subinterfaces:
ServiceResult<SuccessType>
All Known Implementing Classes:
Failure, Success

@Experimental public interface Result<SuccessType,FailureType>
The Result type is an attempt at the function construct of * Either. In this implementation a Result * can define either success or failure (error) using the same type.
