What is your actual intention here? Because the word "asynchronously"
can mean very different things in different contexts.
In an attempt to answer your vague question:
1. The IO is always nonblocking as long as you use the API provided by ngx_lua.
2. If you want it run the subrequest asynchronously in respect to your
other Lua code in the same request handler, then you can use the
"light thread" API documented here:

BTW, I'm cc'ing the openresty-en mailing list:

Please do not keep posting such questions privately unless your

cooperation!
