I want to implement a NIO based aws java client and was thinking of using the HttpAsyncClient but its in Alpha 3 stage. Does anyone have experience using the client under any kind of load? Also when can we expect it to go to beta and release?

Apache HttpAsyncClient 4.0-beta1 was officially released yesterday. GA can be expected in three to four months.
As far as stability is concerned, since no one else responded, I can only give me my very biased opinion. HttpAsyncClient is based on HttpCore NIO which is reasonably well tested and is known to be capable of dealing with a great deal of load. HttpAsyncClient also re-uses a lot of high level protocol handling code from HttpClient. The amount of new code is not that great and can be expected to stabilize reasonably fast.
