This API call in most implementations is fairly IO heavy and slow
so it is more natural to be async in the first place.
Concretely though, this change is a prerequisite of #49060 since
determining the repository generation from the cluster state
introduces situations where this call would have to wait for other
operations to finish. Doing so in a blocking manner would break
SnapshotResiliencyTests
and waste a thread.Also, this sets up the possibility to in the future make use of async IO
where provided by the underlying Repository implementation.
In a follow-up
SnapshotsService#getRepositoryData
will be made asyncas well (did not do it here, since it's another huge change to do so).
Note: This change for now does not alter the threading behaviour in any way (since
Repository#getRepositoryData
isn't forking) and is purely mechanical.backport of #49299
