== Async
Mysql2::Client takes advantage of the MySQL C API's (undocumented) non-blocking function mysql_send_query for *all* queries.
But, in order to take full advantage of it in your Ruby code, you can do:
client.query("SELECT sleep(5)", :async => true)
Which will return nil immediately. At this point you'll probably want to use some socket monitoring mechanism
like EventMachine or even IO.select. Once the socket becomes readable, you can do:
# result will be a Mysql2::Result instance
result = client.async_result
NOTE: Because of the way MySQL's query API works, this method will block until the result is ready no matter what.
So if you really need things to stay async, it's best to just monitor the socket with something like EventMachine.
