I was bitten by the issue described in https://stackoverflow.com/a/31052486/6253347 \[cpovirk adds (for searchability): might https://stackoverflow.com/q/55333290/28465 also be similar?\] when trying to use Arrow Flight with Java's SecurityManager, since `AbstractFuture` tries to check a property as part of initialization and hence can't be created from an `InnocuousThread` that doesn't have any privileges. The exception looks like this:

```
Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied ("java.util.PropertyPermission" "guava.concurrent.generate_cancellation_cause" "read")
	at java.base/java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:472)
	at java.base/java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:1044)
	at java.base/java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(SecurityManager.java:408)
	at java.base/java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPropertyAccess(SecurityManager.java:1152)
	at java.base/java.lang.System.getProperty(System.java:880)
	at com.google.common.util.concurrent.AbstractFuture.<clinit>(AbstractFuture.java:64)
```

I can try to put together a small repro if it's useful, but the TL;DR is that I'd like to wrap the call at https://github.com/google/guava/blob/master/guava/src/com/google/common/util/concurrent/AbstractFuture.java#L74 in a try/catch, since it will throw if access to system properties is not permitted by the SecurityManager.
* (including "set asynchronously," defined below).
   *
   * <p>If the supplied future is {@linkplain #isDone done} when this method is called and the call
   * is accepted, then this future is guaranteed to have been completed with the supplied future by
   * the time this method returns. If the supplied future is not done and the call is accepted, then
   * the future will be <i>set asynchronously</i>. Note that such a result, though not yet known,
   * cannot be overridden by a call to a {@code set*} method, only by a call to {@link #cancel}.
   *
   * <p>If the call {@code setFuture(delegate)} is accepted and this {@code Future} is later
   * cancelled, cancellation will be propagated to {@code delegate}. Additionally, any call to
   * {@code setFuture} after any cancellation will propagate cancellation to the supplied {@code
   * Future}.
   *
   * <p>Note that, even if the supplied future is cancelled and it causes this future to complete,
   * it will never trigger interruption behavior. In particular, it will not cause this future to
   * invoke the {@link #interruptTask} method, and the {@link #wasInterrupted} method will not
   * return {@code true}.
   *
   * @param future the future to delegate to
   * @return true if the attempt was accepted, indicating that the {@code Future} was not previously
   *     cancelled or set.
