Custom thread pool in Java 8 parallel stream

Question

Is it possible to specify a custom thread pool for Java 8 parallel stream? I can not find it anywhere.

Imagine that I have a server application and I would like to

If you don't mind using a third-party library, with cyclops-react you can mix sequential and parallel Streams within the same pipeline and provide custom ForkJoinPools. For example

 ReactiveSeq.range(1, 1_000_000)
            .foldParallel(new ForkJoinPool(10),
                          s->s.filter(i->true)
                              .peek(i->System.out.println("Thread " + Thread.currentThread().getId()))
                              .max(Comparator.naturalOrder()));

Or if we wished to continue processing within a sequential Stream

 ReactiveSeq.range(1, 1_000_000)
            .parallel(new ForkJoinPool(10),
                      s->s.filter(i->true)
                          .peek(i->System.out.println("Thread " + Thread.currentThread().getId())))
            .map(this::processSequentially)
            .forEach(System.out::println);
