-----------------------------------

             Summary: CachingHttpAsyncClient does not follow same pattern as Caching HttpClient 
                 Key: HTTPASYNC-76
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPASYNC-76
             Project: HttpComponents HttpAsyncClient
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 4.0.1
            Reporter: Matt Inger


I would have expected the Caching version of the HttpAsyncClient library to following same pattern as the non async version.  In the non-async version, we have a CachingHttpClientBuilder class which extends the HttpClientBuilder, and they both end up returning the same client implementation:  CloseableHttpClient.  

I would have expected the same from the async version.  Instead it uses CachingHttpAsyncClient as a decorator approach.

This is unfortunate, because i really want to be able to not care about the implementation and do this:

    CloseableHttpAysncClient client = clientFactory.create("test");

But i cannot do this, due to the design.  I also considered this:

    HttpAysncClient client = clientFactory.create("test");

But this does not guarantee that it implements Closeable, and in fact, CachingHttpAsyncClient does not implement that interface.

I'd like to see it more in line with the synchronous version.
