And what is the semantics of parallel on an infinite stream, you split the infinity ?

It is perfectly sensible. We can take infinite generators and parallelize them easily enough; see the implementation of Iterators.spliterator(). The only challenge is "how do you make it stop", if you care about that. Which is why we're talking about cancelation.
