Aerospike Java client handling multiple concurrect requests

Question

I have a system where multiple clients make REST calls to my server, where I look up data in Aerospike and return them after some processing. I am using the same instance of Aerospike Java client to handle all the clients.

I am not able to find in the documentation whether client.get() is a blocking operation or not. Should I create multiple thread-local instances of Aerospike clients to handle these requests?

If you're asking about the thread safety of AerospikeClient , then the answer is that you can use a single client. Quoting the documentation :

This client is thread-safe. One client instance should be used per cluster. Multiple threads should share this cluster instance.
