[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-14606) Use virtual threads to publish Kafka records

Bart De Neuter created KAFKA-14606:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Use virtual threads to publish Kafka records
                 Key: KAFKA-14606
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14606
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: producer 
            Reporter: Bart De Neuter


Since JDK 19, virtual threads have been added to the JDK as a preview:

[https://openjdk.org/jeps/425]

Virtual threads allows you to use the hardware optimal as it is a lightweight thread that runs on a carrier thread (OS thread). When IO happens, the carrier thread is not blocked and can continue doing other work. Currently it doesn't seem to be possible to make `org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.Sender` run on a virtual thread.

An instance of `org.apache.kafka.common.utils.KafkaThread` is being started. 

Is it possible to give the possibility to use virtual threads for publishing records?
