Hi Brian, If everything needed to continue processing the request will be in the answer to the ID lookup, then you can pipe <http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.3.6/scala/futures.html#Use_With_Actors> the future which you'll get while calling Reactive Couchbase APIs to the same actor and continue request processing as a normal actor message.
Now if you need to merge the request data with the data from the database before you can continue processing the request, you can either zip the initial request with contents of the before mentioned future, or you can use per-request actor <http://techblog.net-a-porter.com/2013/12/ask-tell-and-per-request-actors/> pattern to handle the per-request state.
