Hi, Team

For asynchronous, I think we need to distinguish between two scenario

1. After the asynchronous method is executed, the sub-transaction execution 
ends, for example: using internal threads to execute.
For this scenario, we allow sub-transactions to be in parallel, but we must 
wait for all threads to finish before we can end the main method. same thread 
join or use CountDownLatch

2. After the asynchronous method is executed, the sub-transaction is still in 
execution, for example, PUB / SUB
For this scenario, Can I solve it using TransactionContext?

Is there something I have missed?
