Example of using async requests

[peterbe]

I actually don't know if it requires a custom requests library or if it's something that can be done "natively" with sanic, but being able to do requests queries async would be awesome. Then you don't have to worry about blocking when doing a sloooow requests.post(...).
Also, something I'm personally interested in, is the ability to use elasticsearch in an async matter.

For elasticsearch you can use https://github.com/aio-libs/aioes.

For async http requests, aiohttp support this, until sanic supports it maybe you can use its http client (I'm not aware if there is another library doing this).
