Asynchronous client is not working about pydruid

[mghosh4]

Using the curl based client will put 2 additional dependencies. You need to install libcurl4-openssl-dev in linux and also pycurl python package. Should I just change the doc for this? Or is there a way to add this dependency in the patch?

Are you sure it doesn't work? I'm asking because it does work on production since many months in our stack. You may want to take a look at this: http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/httpclient.html#tornado.httpclient.AsyncHTTPClient ;)

I see. I might be using the constructor wrong then. From what I understand if I configure AsyncHTTPClient to use the correct class. It should work? Let me know if I do not understand this.

@mghosh4 You just need to use the constructor as described in the linked docs. The simple_httpclient is fully sufficient and definitely should stay as the default, since it doesn't require any additional dependencies installed on your machine - unlike the curl_httpclient.

Perhaps, a patch allowing people to override the default client could be useful though. Feel free to submit one.

I would suggest closing this issue, since its name may be misleading people to think that the async client is broken - It isn't.

Thanks @turu
