Sharing Kafka producer between threads

Is it possible to have single instance of a Kafka producer shared between multiple threads to send messages to multiple topics? Is there any concurrency issue I might want to be aware of before?

According to the KafkaProducer documentation

The producer is thread safe and sharing a single producer instance across threads will generally be faster than having multiple instances.

So yes, it's perfectly valid and even recommended to share a single producer between multiple threads.
