Description

In the HTTP API, there is the option to add "x-arango-async: store" to the headers so that a query can be run asynchronously, in the sense that a job id is returned and results can be fetched later. Is this option also possible through the Java API? I understand that the API already has Java futures, but I would not like my app to have many background threads waiting for results on queries. Would it be possible to have the API return just a future of a job id, which the client can reference at a later time to fetch the results?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the HTTP API's x-arango-async: store behavior and the Java API's existing futures, both named in the issue. Determine whether the driver exposes a job-id-based path for later result retrieval; done would be a documented, supported Java API approach or a clearly scoped implementation plan.
