Have you looked into [Dagger.jl](https://github.com/JuliaParallel/Dagger.jl/) at all? In terms of automatic Distributed + multithreading, that’s baked in to `Dagger.@spawn` - it’ll use any thread on any worker to run your task.

I’m not sure what you mean by “play/pause”, but if you can elaborate, maybe it’s something I can provide a solution for?

Additionally, in terms of streaming support, I have a [branch](https://github.com/JuliaParallel/Dagger.jl/tree/jps/stream2) that implements streaming support, which should automatically work across Distributed processes and multiple threads. It needs more work to be merge-ready, but the idea is solid and will probably get merged in the next 1-2 months. If this seems appealing to you, let me know and I can prioritize finishing it 😄

For one thing, this isn’t thread-safe. For another, it doesn’t work across multiple processes, since `bla` only exists on one process. Dagger’s streaming branch support early termination of streaming tasks from within the task or from the outside, so maybe it’s worth taking a look to see if this would work for you.
