I would appreciate any kind of guidance and information about how to use undertow in a scenario where we'd like to poll an external source for messages (e.g. kafka) and feed those messages to all the connected websocket sessions.</div>

So far the only examples I've found were about mirroring the messages received from http/websockets back to other websocket sessions or write those messages to Kafka. What we'd ideally need is READ from kafka (e.g. using a dedicated thread, busy-spinning and
polling) and pass the retrieved data to undertow (ideally within the JVM without going through HTTP / REST) that would then send them over websockets to the connected clients.</div>

A separate, but related question is, assuming that we were to use the websocket-JSR interface, that is it safe to assume that undertow ensures that at any given time only a single thread is writing to a specific websocket session, especially when using the
asyncremote.send() method? Would undertow be able to paralellize all the async send operations using multiple threads to speed up sending?</div>
