I was also in the same mindset that you have in terms of just wanting a pure Akka solution with a pulling pattern. The only issue that I found there was in the scenario where your master actors (the one's that hold the work that other actors pull from) go down. In this case, you're losing all of the data that the master actors held unless you have some sort of safe-guard in place (not really sure what this might look like). Something like Persistence might work except for a (probably rare but still plausible) case where the majority of your Akka system goes down, including the mechanisms responsible for Persistence. It also doesn't help when you're working with a data-stream that never stops coming; there's no easy way to catch up when failures happen. I've also been reading about Akka streams and I also checked out the Typesafe activator module that they have with examples. It definitely looks very promising. Unfortunately it seems like it's something that will be released closer to the end of the year. If only it could get here sooner! -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
