Does rust-rocksdb support async?

[trungda]

I skimmed through the example and couldn't see that async is supported. Is there a need to add async support? What about the upstream TiKV, does it not support async too? Thank you.

What do you mean "supporting async"? AFAIK RocksDB doesn't have true async interface, and rust-rocksdb is only a binding library, it cannot and will not implement an async runtime on its own.

If you are referring to the parallal read I/O features (as in this blogpost), then it's as simple as adding a new flag to ReadOptions. We don't currently have it but you are welcome to file a PR.

Thank you! Let me take a stab at this. Will keep this issue open to track this feature.
