Hello guys, I have a weird idea bugging my mind, so let me share it and if that's improductive/dead end, then I'll forget it :)
I have been reading a few sources about the notion of Fibers in Java (aka Loom Project) which are generally available with Java 21. There's an optional "virtual threads executor" in Apache Tomcat since a while: https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/config/executor.html#Virtual_Thread_Implementation ; would it be worth to have something similar in Apache Storm ? Note: Storm is a scheduler, so normally the main pain of Java threads which is that they are OS threads is part of Storm's mission to schedule a potentially larger set of spouts & bolts than there are physical threads on all supervisor nodes, right? does it mean that virtual threads would be useless for Storm ? Sorry for pushing headaches to some of you with these questions, but I'd like to challenge the idea :) Alexandre
