Description

Currently the implementation of putNext in FlightClient.java busy-waits until gRPC indicates that the server can receive a message. We should either improve the busy-wait (e.g. add sleep times), or rethink the API and make it non-blocking.

**Reporter**: [David Li](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4484) / @lidavidm

**Note**: *This issue was originally created as [ARROW-4484](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-4484). Please see the [migration documentation](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/14542) for further details.*

Research direction

Read putNext in FlightClient.java and trace how it waits for gRPC to indicate that the server can receive a message. Resolve whether the scope is improving the busy-wait or changing the API to be non-blocking. Done means the chosen approach removes the reported busy-wait problem without leaving the API behavior undefined.
