Fairly idle question, but I'm curious whether the team has an opinion. In my development, I'm getting to the point where each Space has a good-sized collection of Actors involved with it: a state manager, a conversations manager, a couple of persistence workers, n UserSession Actors with a UserSessionManager, and a router/root dealing with messaging through this whole shebang. They're very deeply inter-related to each other, and I find myself needing to refer to the collection in the comments/docs.
I've found myself calling this a "hive", for no particular reason except that it's the term that seems most intuitive to me, but I was wondering if there is any consensus terminology here. The closest I can think of from what I've seen is "aggregate", but that's fairly recent since DDD became a hot topic around here, and it feels like slightly the wrong semantic level: "aggregate" is really about the data, and I'm thinking about the Actors themselves. (That said, folks do seem to be calling the idea of that router the "aggregate root", so it is possible that DDD terminology is taking over.) What have y'all been calling this concept, if anything? -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
