zach-overflow opened a new issue, #73661:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/73661
### Description
Currently, the `apache-airflow-client` package (generated from the
`openapi-generator-cli`) uses the default `urllib3` client, which does not
support async operations.
The proposed feature is to generate and package `async` client code in the
`apache-airflow-client` package, in addition to the existing synchronous client
code.
Ideally, this **should not** alter the synchronous interface to ensure this
is not a breaking change.
### Use case/motivation
Async client usage is particularly helpful for users who either:
* Need to perform independent API operations in a single process (such as a
bulk "pause dags" operation).
* Manage multiple Airflow instances, and require multi-plexing requests
across instances (e.g. a management script which updates the same Airflow
variables across multiple Airflow instances at once).
* This is a situation I'm currently using async api calls for, but with
httpx2 directly, rather than with the official Apache Airflow python client. It
would be really nice to have the additional type safety the official client
offers, and I'm sure this would benefit others as well.
As noted above, `urllib3` is the current client used in the client
generation tool, but the upcoming release of `openapi-generator-cli` version
`7.26.0` will support for generating code which uses `httpx2` under the hood.
`httpx2` supports both sync and async operations. Additionally, the
openapi-generator-cli has configuration options to generate code with both sync
and async code in the same output package.
Both the `httpx2` and `async` code generation config options are described
here: https://openapi-generator.tech/docs/generators/python/#config-options

* context:`httpx` is apparently no longer actively maintained, and
Pydantic's `httpx2` is the replacement that appears to have taken the
designation as the python community's "accepted" replacement.
