Ivan P., Ivan D., I don't think it makes sense to separate IgniteConnection and IgniteClient like Lettuce does, because IgniteClient will maintain connections to multiple server nodes automatically, and the number of connections can grow and shrink dynamically.
This is required to support dynamic clusters together with partition awareness. > Why not to make async variant of connection Ignite API will (eventually) have both sync and async variants of every method, where applicable, including the method that connects the client to the cluster.
