aerospike-client-nodejs: Synchronous error callback in query command causes "unspecified" error in record stream

In our test code we are using AS.query and on error it gives a complete halt of system.

events.js:146
      throw err;
      ^

Error: Uncaught, unspecified "error" event. ([object Object])
    at RecordStream.emit (events.js:144:17)

There are two main differences between batchRead and batchGet:

batchRead uses the newer Batch Index protocol, while batchGet uses the legacy Batch Direct protocol. You can read about the differences between the two protocols here: http://www.aerospike.com/docs/guide/batch.html.
batchRead uses asynchronous I/O when communicating with the Aerospike server; batchGet uses synchronous, blocking I/O. In order to provide an async., callback-based API in the JS layer, the batchGet command uses libuv worker threads when communicating with the server. By default, Node.js only uses a worker pool of 4 threads so this can become a bottle neck. I went into a bit more details about the difference between synchronous and asynchronous I/O in a recent blog post, which you can find here: http://www.aerospike.com/blog/win-win-greater-speed-and-lower-latency-with-aerospikes-node-js-client-v2-0/.

I would recommend that you upgrade to the v2 as it might address they issues that you are seeing.
