Current Java Thin Client API is synchronous (blocking). Blocking APIs do not scale well.
Underlying protocol and Java implementation are inherently asynchronous, so any thin client API can have an async equivalent.
Provide async equivalents for all Java Thin Client APIs where possible:
Async APIs should return IgniteFuture for consistency with other Ignite APIs.
ClientCompute#executeAsync returns plain j.u.c.Future, which does not provide completion callbacks or chaining, this should be changed (deprecate old method and create a new one).
// Describe project risks, such as API or binary compatibility issues, major protocol changes, etc.
// Links to discussions on the devlist, if applicable.
// Links to various reference documents, if applicable.
