Since Camel 4.3.0 released 18th December, the framework has primarily support for virtual threads:
https://camel.apache.org/manual/threading-model.html#_virtual_threads In the documentation, it's already said that this doesn't work in all cases. Previously, it was also mentioned by Claus that it can take a long time (years) before most important libraries implemented support for it (Currently Spring is one of the few examples that already supports virtual threads). I would love to explore this new functionality, but still have many questions. For example, I don't know what the best settings for threading are when virtual threads are enabled. I thought that pooling was a solution that was used with platform threads, but with virtual threads a pool may not be needed anymore. And if we use a thread pool, can we set the pools to -1 (infinite) or a million? Are there already cases in Camel where enabling virtual threads speed up processing (for example, with a lot of blocking I/O)? Are there benchmarks available that compare use cases with and without virtual threads enabled? This is not an area I'm very knowledgeable of, but would love to see a blog entry that covers this interesting new topic. Raymond
