Reading http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/general/addressing.html,
"Reusing Actor Paths", I would agree with you:
It may be the right thing to do in very specific circumstances, but make
sure
to confine the handling of this precisely to the actor’s supervisor, because
that is the only actor which can reliably detect proper deregistration of
the
name, before which creation of the new child will fail.
I have, however, observed the same as you, and have stopped using readable
names for my actors... :-(
I am also eager for a clarification!
Best regards,
Anders Båtstrand
