async methods

Open mattheworiordan opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

A customer has asked how they can call client.auth.authorize in a non-blocking way. Currently, in the Java lib I believe this is only possible with a new thread.

Should we consider offering async alternatives to traditionally blocking method calls?

We have async variants of the other REST queries so we should add requestTokenAsync()

Sure, so is the rule then that if an async suffixed method does not exist then the dev can assume the method is async? Seems a little haphazard IMHO
