关于tornado5.0后客户端使用发生的变化

一个老的项目今天更新了一下环境，主要是把tornado从版本4升级到了最新的6.1，出现错误，错误发生的代码如下：

class ForceRefreshHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    def get(self):
        tokenType = self.get_argument('type', 'UnKnown')
        # 获取token的口令
        secret = self.get_argument('secret', 'UnKnown')
        ret = {}
        if tokenType != 'UnKnown' and secret == config.requestSecret:
            request = renderRequest(tokenType)
            # 同步客戶端
            syncHttpClient = tornado.httpclient.HTTPClient()
            try:
                response = syncHttpClient.fetch(request)
            except Exception as e:
                logger.error('Exception: %s', e)
                logger.error('Force refresh %s failed.' % str(tokenType))
                ret['errmsg'] = str(e)
            else:
                logger.debug('Sync httpclient response: %s', response)
                logger.debug('Sync httpclient response body: %s', response.body)
                # response body里面json格式的字典
                resDict = json.loads(response.body.decode('utf8'))
                logger.info('Force refresh %s success, response is :%s' % (tokenType, resDict))
                token = resDict['access_token']
                try:
                    # 存入redis数据库并设置过期时间
                    wechatRedis.set(tokenType, token, ex=config.tokenExpireTime)
                    logger.info('Set %s in redis success.', tokenType)
                except Exception as e:
                    logger.error(e)
                # 返回请求
                ret[tokenType] = resDict['access_token']
                ret['expires_in'] = config.tokenExpireTime
            syncHttpClient.close()

        self.write(json.dumps(ret, sort_keys=False))

*** AttributeError: 'HTTPClient' object has no attribute 'get_argument'

打印self的类型后发现是

<tornado.httpclient.HTTPClient object at 0xffff9cc64790>

这就很迷惑了，这个类不是继承自tornado.web.RequestHandler，怎么变成了tornado.httpclient.HTTPClient？
查了一下，由于自tornado 5.0开始，引入了asycio模块，并且和它共享事件循环，导致客户端的使用方式发生了变化，上面代码中的同步客户端需要改为异步客户端，具体原因还不清楚

class ForceRefreshHandler(tornado.web.RequestHandler):
    async def get(self):
		...	
            # 异步客戶端
            syncHttpClient = tornado.httpclient.AsyncHTTPClient()
            try:
                response = await syncHttpClient.fetch(request)
            ...
