Alexandre Dupriez commented on KAFKA-14606:
-------------------------------------------
It would be interesting indeed to know how this feature could be leveraged in
the context of Kafka which is inherently constructed using asynchronous I/O and
does not pertain to the thread-per-request programming model. Ismael, which
layer(s) of Kafka do you see could benefit from the feature?
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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?
