- Async handling of lease breaks

### 9.3 Network Efficiency
- Batch lease requests when possible
- Implement lease key reuse for related files
- Optimize lease break acknowledgment timing

## 10. Error Handling

### 10.1 Lease Break Timeout
```java
public void handleLeaseBreakWithTimeout(Smb2LeaseKey key, int newState) {
    CompletableFuture<Void> future = CompletableFuture.runAsync(() -> {

   * <p>This executor is appropriate for tasks that are lightweight and not deeply chained.
   * Inappropriate {@code directExecutor} usage can cause problems, and these problems can be
   * difficult to reproduce because they depend on timing. For example:
   *
   * <ul>
   *   <li>When a {@code ListenableFuture} listener is registered to run under {@code
   *       directExecutor}, the listener can execute in any of three possible threads:
   *       <ol>

     *
     * <p>Note that the method will be called even upon an invocation of {@code tryLock()}. Although
     * {@code tryLock()} technically recovers from deadlock by eventually timing out, this behavior
     * is chosen based on the assumption that it is the application's wish to prohibit any cyclical
     * lock acquisitions.
