Asynchronous connect

Use the Aerospike C# client to connect to the Aerospike server by creating an AsyncClient object and providing the IP address and port of one node in a cluster. In a cluster, this IP address is used to initiate contact to the cluster, and then the client can discover all cluster nodes and cluster status.

AsyncClient client = new AsyncClient("127.0.0.1", 3000);

The AsyncClient constructor creates a maintenance thread to periodically ping nodes for cluster status.

On a network disturbance where the client can no longer reach any node, the seed nodes (and the discovered friend nodes on initial connection) are pinged until client-server connection is reestablished.

The AsyncClient instance is thread-safe and can be used concurrently by multiple threads. Each get/set call is a blocking, synchronous network call to Aerospike. Non-blocking connections are cached in a connection pool for each server node.
