+If the checkpointer will be used with asynchronous graph execution (i.e. executing the graph via `.ainvoke`, `.astream`, `.abatch`), checkpointer must implement asynchronous versions of the above methods (`.aput`, `.aput_writes`, `.aget_tuple`, `.alist`). Similarly, the checkpointer must implement `.adelete_thread()` if asynchronous thread cleanup is desired. The base class provides a default implementation of `.get_next_version()` that generates an integer sequence starting from 1, but this method should be overridden for custom versioning schemes.
