https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/478
I think that, instead of doing blocking calls like `fn.apply()` on a thread
pool, we could expose a fully async API. Something like `toListAsync()` that
returns a `CompletableFuture<List<T>>`.
For that, we should expose an async `TraversalStrategy` interface
containing a `applyAsync()` method that returns a completable future.
A fully async API could be translate to any language, even for the ones
that don't feature thread pools (like JavaScript).

> Components: language-variant, process
> Affects Versions: 3.2.2
> Reporter: Marko A. Rodriguez
>
> [~mbroecheler] had the idea of adding a {{Traversal.async()}} method. This is
> important for not only avoiding thread locking on a query in Gremlin, but
> also, it will allow single threaded language variants like Gremlin-JavaScript
> to use callbacks for processing query results.
> {code}
> Future<List<String>> result =
> g.V().out().values("name").async(Traversal::toList)
> {code}
> {code}
> Future<List<String>> result = g.V().out().name.async{it.toList()}
> {code}
> {code}
> g.V().out().values('name').async((err,names) => {
> // I don't know JavaScript, but ...
> return list(names);
> })
> {code}
> ...
