Description

Is this a new feature, an improvement, or a change to existing functionality?

New Feature

The Python interface of the client is currently future based. It would be nice to add native async calls in addition to Futures based async functionality.

Describe the feature, and optionally a solution or implementation and any alternatives

This was an optional item from #78 which was not completed and is here being separated into a separte ticket. See #78.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current Python interface and the related issue #78, which originally included this work. Map how the existing Futures-based asynchronous functionality is exposed before defining the native async API. Done means native async calls are available alongside the existing Futures-based functionality, with behavior and compatibility expectations documented.
