There has been this other recent thread: [How to early return from inside a @threads loop](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-to-early-return-from-inside-a-threads-loop/97457)

(I think the safest way to deal with that is to use a flag to exit from the workload of the chunk assigned to each thread, splitted at a higher level)
