      ForkJoinWorkerThread newThread​(ForkJoinPool pool)
      Returns a new worker thread operating in the given pool. Returning null or throwing an exception may result in tasks never being executed. If this method throws an exception, it is relayed to the caller of the method (for example execute) causing attempted thread creation. If this method returns null or throws an exception, it is not retried until the next attempted creation (for example another call to execute).
      Parameters:
      pool - the pool this thread works in
      Returns:
      the new worker thread, or null if the request to create a thread is rejected
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the pool is null
