This is how it is being used inside HttpAsyncClient

Is there any particular reason you want to use PoolingNHttpClientConnectionManager directly instead of using it through HttpAsyncClient?

Yes, it should. Alternatively one can request, say, 5 connections from the pool and immediately release all of them back to the pool. That'll ensure there are 5 warm connections in the pool. – ok2c Aug 14 '15 at 17:07
Only by sending a heart-beat message every once in a while. If you can give up proxy support, complex auth schemes and state management you might consider using BasicNIOConnPool. http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-core-4.4.x/httpcore-nio/examples/org/apache/http/examples/nio/NHttpClient.java. It offers a simpler API than PoolingNHttpClientConnectionManager. – ok2c Aug 14 '15 at 17:16
You need to start the i/o reactor – ok2c Aug 14 '15 at 19:39
