I wouldn't have thought a getAsync() would be useful - given that with a get, you would want to block on getting your result anyway as it performs no other useful function other than retrieving data (unlike put, remove, etc). > What would you think of adding them? > In alternative I could make use of a streaming API, but this would > likely be implemented in a similar shape? The streaming API is probably further away.  Implementing a getAsync() ought to be trivial.  Care to create a JIRA?
