I want to use async/await for database, but I don't know how to do it.
And I found that mongodb has a async/await driver based on async conections.
But levelDB is not async.
What should I do?
I read the tokio document, may be I can use spawn_blocking to run a async io-task.
Is it right? If I frequently use spawn_blocking, will it affect the performance?
The spawn_blocking part of the Tokio API uses a separate thread pool (to the core threads used for async tasks) with a configurable keep-alive time if threads are unused. So you may incur the overhead of spawning a new system thread. If you're always performing the same blocking tasks, a possible optimization could be to use a channel to communicate between async tasks and a single long running sync task which retrieves messages containing the parameters from the channel.
