I have another Avro question that isn't obvious from the current docs.. Does the current Avro compiler (for Java or C# stubs) support fully async handlers?
By this I don't mean just non-blocking I/O for the I/O loop, but handlers which can return their results via callback. I want a server-handler sub that provides callbacks that can be used later (after the handler function thread has returned), to return results -- so my handler doesn't need to sit on the rpc calling thread until results are available. It seems someone made some experimental Thrift patches to do this for C++, but they were not accepted. It's possible the Thrift python twisted interface does this (I don't know). However, I can't seem to find any reference to this being available in Thrift for Java or C#. They only have non-blocking I/O support, but the handler thread has to directly return the result, which means it has to consume the thread until the result is available. http://markmail.org/thread/7xl2fpwn3hvao2jh#query:+page:1+mid:7xl2fpwn3hvao2jh+state:results Make sense? Is this something that Avro has now? or not yet?
