> Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne

> The streamExecutor is define as:
> {noformat}
> streamExecutor_ = new DebuggableThreadPoolExecutor("Streaming", Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);
> {noformat}
> In the meantime, in DebuggableThreadPoolExecutor.java:
> {noformat}
> public DebuggableThreadPoolExecutor(String threadPoolName, int priority)
> {
> this(1, Integer.MAX_VALUE, TimeUnit.SECONDS, new LinkedBlockingQueue<Runnable>(), new NamedThreadFactory(threadPoolName, priority));
> }
> {noformat}
> In other word, since the core pool size is 1 and the queue unbounded, tasks will always queued and the executor is essentially mono-threaded.
> This is clearly not necessary since we already have stream throttling nowadays. And it could be a limiting factor in the case of the bulk loader.
> Besides, I would venture that this maybe was not the intention, because putting the max core size to MAX_VALUE would suggest that the intention was to spawn threads on demand.
