I am thankful that @vertexclique introduced this, as I also believe that we greatly benefit from multi-threading at this level. What I am a bit unsure is whether there is any issue in nested spawning: we may want to fork in other places that are nested with this op. But I am confident that someone knows the answer (👀 to @vertexclique and @alamb). ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
