Load botocore i/o methods in executor

[chemelli74]

Description of Change

Follow-up of #1120

Added the option to load in the executor botocore methods that do I/O.
To enable the new approach is enough to call

AioSession(load_executor=True)

nothing changes for all current downstream implementations of this library as default is False and thus is not needed to be specified.

I think it would be better to add this to the documentation instead

Thank you for creating the PR.

Having taken a brief look, several concerns prevent me from supporting this proposal at this time:

1. Unless absolutely necessary, we should avoid making any changes to the signature of upstream functions and classes, in particular public APIs. This proposal introduces several API changes, including to create_client(). While they might well be backwards compatible, they introduce drift and might make it more difficult to stay up-to-date with future botocore releases.
2. botocore (and by extension aiobotocore) has a powerful configuration mechanism that could (should?) be used instead.
3. As far as I can tell, the botocore loader is far more complex and has a lot more blocking codepaths than are considered here. Having a fully async loader would be preferable to me. I have started work in that area, but it will be a massive change and I am not sure I can pull through and finish it.

Here's a recent example of adding a configuration option: #1102

[jakob-keller]

Check https://github.com/boto/botocore/blob/develop/botocore/loaders.py to get a glimpse of the number of I/O operations that exist and might need to be run in the executor. If you then identify all calling code throughout aiobotocore/botocore the task of avoiding any blocking calls becomes daunting, at least to me.

[jakob-keller]

For your reference, I have pushed a branch with progress on fully async loaders to https://github.com/jakob-keller/aiobotocore/tree/async-loaders. This is nowhere near complete, though.

So if I go that way, are you willing to add the change ?

That would only address 1. and 2. I feel we should have a discussion about 3. before more effort is invested in this or any other PR. But that is just my opinion.

I would say that is a start.
So if we go that way current discovered issues are fixed.
We can always extend or as you are doing rework it later on.

What you think ?

What specific issue are you referencing? When #1120 was discussed, no consensus was reached that this is even an issue with aiobotocore.

I don't know what to say or add.

The issue is made evident by HA, botocore maintainer wrote that it is a problem with the async code.
The above code fix the issue with the blocking calls inside the event loop

Please help me understanding what is the missing information.

[jakob-keller]

First of all, I am not aware that a related issue has been raised with aiobotocore. This might well be a technicality, but that would be the ideal place to clarify where the issue lies, if there are any work arounds available and/or whether and how to best address it. Discussing the apparent issue, potential solutions and a proposed fix in the context of a PR has not worked well for #1120 and I feel this PR might be on a similar path. I suggest to open an issue and continue the discussion there. Thank you!

Done, #1199

[thehesiod]

instead of this being a bool, you should just pass in the executor you want to use for the loader, that way you avoid defaulting to creating a ton of threads

deprecating in favor of more targeted #1451
