"""Example of iteration through AsyncMapResults, without waiting for all results When you call view.map(func, sequence), you will receive a special AsyncMapResult object. These objects are used to reconstruct the results of the split call. One feature AsyncResults provide is that they are iterable *immediately*, so you can iterate through the actual results as they complete. This is useful if you submit a large number of tasks that may take some time, but want to perform logic on elements in the result, or even abort subsequent tasks in cases where you are searching for the first affirmative result. By default, the results will match the ordering of the submitted sequence, but if you call `map(...ordered=False)`, then results will be provided to the iterator on a first come first serve basis.
