Bart De Neuter created KAFKA-14606: -------------------------------------- Summary: Use virtual threads to publish Kafka records Key: KAFKA-14606 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14606 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Components: producer Reporter: Bart De Neuter
Since JDK 19, virtual threads have been added to the JDK as a preview: [https://openjdk.org/jeps/425] Virtual threads allows you to use the hardware optimal as it is a lightweight thread that runs on a carrier thread (OS thread). When IO happens, the carrier thread is not blocked and can continue doing other work. Currently it doesn't seem to be possible to make `org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.Sender` run on a virtual thread. An instance of `org.apache.kafka.common.utils.KafkaThread` is being started. Is it possible to give the possibility to use virtual threads for publishing records? -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
