> As discovered and discussed in YARN-5269 the TimelineCollector#putEntitiesAsync method is currently not implemented and TimelineCollector#putEntities is asynchronous.
> TimelineV2ClientImpl#putEntities vs TimelineV2ClientImpl#putEntitiesAsync correctly call TimelineEntityDispatcher#dispatchEntities(boolean sync,... with the correct argument. This argument does seem to make it into the params, and on the server side TimelineCollectorWebService#putEntities correctly pulls the async parameter from the rest call. See line 156:
> {code}
>     boolean isAsync = async != null && async.trim().equalsIgnoreCase("true");
> {code}
> However, this is where the problem starts. It simply calls TimelineCollector#putEntities and ignores the value of isAsync. It should instead have called TimelineCollector#putEntitiesAsync, which is currently not implemented.
> putEntities should call putEntitiesAsync and then after that call writer.flush()
> The fact that we flush on close and we flush periodically should be more of a concern of avoiding data loss; close in case sync is never called and the periodic flush to guard against having data from slow writers get buffered for a long time and expose us to risk of loss in case the collector crashes with data in its buffers. Size-based flush is a different concern to avoid blowing up memory footprint.
> The spooling behavior is also somewhat separate.
> We have two separate methods on our API putEntities and putEntitiesAsync and they should have different behavior beyond waiting for the request to be sent.
