That's already there.

 From ForkJoinPool doc:

  * <p>The common pool is by default constructed with default
  * parameters, but these may be controlled by setting three
  * {@linkplain System#getProperty system properties}:
  * <ul>
  * <li>{@code java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.common.parallelism}
  * - the parallelism level, a non-negative integer
  * <li>{@code java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.common.threadFactory}
  * - the class name of a {@link ForkJoinWorkerThreadFactory}
  * <li>{@code java.util.concurrent.ForkJoinPool.common.exceptionHandler}
  * - the class name of a {@link UncaughtExceptionHandler}
  * </ul>

Containers can control the pool size, thread factory, and exception 
handler for the common pool, which is used by parallel stream 
implementations.
