[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-16309) Enabling virtual threads in the Kafka Consumer

Soby Chacko created KAFKA-16309:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Enabling virtual threads in the Kafka Consumer
                 Key: KAFKA-16309
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-16309
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: consumer
            Reporter: Soby Chacko


This is somewhat related to this other issue filed for enabling virtual threads for producers:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-14606?jql=project%20%3D%20KAFKA%20AND%20text%20~%20%22virtual%20threads%22

We have some reports in the Spring for Apache Kafka project that the virtual threads support is broken with Kafka consumers. See the following two issues for details:
 # [https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-kafka/issues/3074]
 # [https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-kafka/issues/3013]

After some analysis, we need to make some changes in the Kafka consumer code to enable virtual threads. See [this comment|https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-kafka/issues/3074#issuecomment-1967376555] for more information. 

Will it be possible to fix this in the consumer codebase?
