Craig Peterson commented on THRIFT-1939:
----------------------------------------

I've started trying to implement a true async version as well, and it does seem particularly difficult to avoid breaking changes. Not impossible, but at a minimum the framework version would need to be increased to 4.5, which could cause problems for people dependent on older framework versions.

I do believe there are performance improvements to be made for both client and server, so it is worthwhile, but definitely a heavy undertaking.

> This process would affect both the compiler and the library. The compiler needs to generate real async-await functions, and the library needs to be changed to use the async methods on Socket.
> If this was the default C# library, then the language version required would jump to C# 5, the .NET runtime required would be 4.5, and Mono support would become "beta". I think a better way would be to release a second .NET 4.5 library, with a new language parameter "csharp:5", or a new language "csharp5". I'm more in favor of the former, but it may make the compiler a little hairier to write.
