Not familiar with "multiprocessing" in Python, but you likely want to check out #coroutines and #flow.

Right, coroutines is way to go. But also if you just want to do multi-thread processing and want efficiently split a big, cpu heavy, job you can use Java parallel streams, it’s a very efficient way to do this, but coroutines are more general solution

An issue with Java parallel streams is that you don't have control over the threadpool (it's a shared threadpool for the whole application). If you need more fine-grained control, check out
ExecutorService
from the Java std/lib. But check out Coroutines first.
