+## Description
+
+Materializes into a @scala[`Future`] @java[`CompletionStage`] of @scala[`immutable.Seq[T]`] @java[`List<In>`] containing the last `n` collected elements when the stream completes.
+If the stream completes before signaling at least n elements, the @scala[`Future`] @java[`CompletionStage`]  will complete with the number
+of elements taken at that point. 
+If the stream never completes, the @scala[`Future`] @java[`CompletionStage`] will never complete.
+If there is a failure signaled in the stream the @scala[`Future`] @java[`CompletionStage`] will be completed with failure.
