| [cu-dev] BALLOT to allow opting in to virtual threads (vote by Tues Sept 12) |
|
In order to make progress on Jakarta Concurrency 3.1, we need to resolve the question of whether or not the specification will include a way for users to provide a hint requesting that if possible managed executors and managed thread factories
should run on or create virtual threads rather than platform threads. Issue 268
https://github.com/jakartaee/concurrency/issues/268 has some background discussion. A vote of +1 is a vote for adding a hint for requesting virtual threads rather than platform threads. A vote of 0 is a vote to abstain and is not counted for or against the proposal. A vote of -1 is a vote for leaving the Concurrency specification without any way for users to indicate their preference for virtual vs platform threads. This vote will be counted by simple majority of +1 or -1 votes from Jakarta Concurrency specification committers as listed in
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/ee4j.cu/who . Non-committers are encouraged to vote as a measure of community sentiment. This BALLOT will run until Tuesday 2023-09-12 10:00AM CDT or when all committers have voted, whichever comes first. |
