Hi, Most my stuff is reactive and async and Actors seems to be perfect to fit the bill with an exception of a certain legacy I/O. It has to be handled within Actor itself and it might take from seconds to even an hour to complete.
So what is the best way to handle that within an Actor, can I just start that I/O and let it run within an actor? What is going to happen to messages coming to that actor? Can I create a Future/Promise inside which just will send an completion event to itself? In another words, what is idiomatic way of handling blocking I/O within Actors.
