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
