Hello guys,

We were working on BOOKKEEPER-249 for a new GC algorithm using ZooKeeper
multi-update feature. But it seems that there is no async interface for
multi request in ZooKeeper client. As my knowledge about ZooKeeper, the
difference between sync interface and async interface is using
cnxn.submitRequest for sync interface while using cnxn.queuePacket for
async interface. It would be quite easy to have an async interface for
multi. Is there any consideration why not introducing an async api when
developing multi feature?

Thanks,
Sijie

This appears to be an oversight in the *java API *only.

The C API supports *amulti* to do an asynchronous multi operation.
The server side definitely supports it as well.

I don't use the Java API so I've not noticed this limitation before.

It should be pretty trivial to add this functionality. Suggest you open a
new Jira on this.

Thanks Marshall. I will try to create a JIRA about it.
