Xiaobing Zhou commented on HADOOP-12909:
----------------------------------------
v009 is posted by adding tests for asynchronous case since the previous
versions tested synchronous calls in asynchronous mode. In addition,
TestAsyncIPC doesn't extend TestIPC anymore. Thank you for review [~szetszwo].
> Change ipc.Client to support asynchronous calls

> In ipc.Client, the underlying mechanism is already supporting asynchronous
> calls -- the calls shares a connection, the call requests are sent using a
> thread pool and the responses can be out of order. Indeed, synchronous call
> is implemented by invoking wait() in the caller thread in order to wait for
> the server response.
> In this JIRA, we change ipc.Client to support asynchronous mode. In
> asynchronous mode, it return once the request has been sent out but not wait
> for the response from the server.
