I do think it would be good for Phoenix to have a netty-based async means of interacting with the server. We've found that to really drive down latency for a parallelized query over a big cluster, you have to have a ridiculously large thread pool on the client side (4000 threads for cluster with 100s of nodes). A netty-based means of interacting would allow us to drive down the latency without resorting to this (though this is pure conjecture at this point - we might run into other, unknown scaling constraints through an async API). Asynchbase, however, has a lot of restrictions in terms of how you can interact with the server. If it could become part of HBase and support the full wire protocol, then it might be an option.
