Hi Boyee,
Thanks for the suggestion, Virtual threads look like they may be
helpful for Connect, particularly in Connector plugins.
There are currently no plans to use virtual threads in the Connect
framework, maybe because we need to maintain compatibility with JDK 8
until 4.0. See https://kafka.
Kafka Connect as a kind of thread-intense program, can benifit a lot from the
usage of virtual threads.
From JDK 21, released in last month, virtual threads is a formal feature of JDK.
I would like to ask if any plans exist to bring virtual threads into Kafka
Connect.
Thank you.
