Akka does not provide such functionality, either you use temp names
when it maintains a counter, or give an explicit name. Just use an
AtomicLong if you want to add your own monotonic counter to names.
i think it would be great to have the ability to supply a template to
the name parameter of actorOf(), such that it generates a unique name in
a particular format, similar to the mkstemp() libc function. for example:
val fooActor = system.actorOf(props, name = "foo-XXXXXX")
would create a toplevel user actor called "foo-$a" (if we assume current
auto-naming behavior).
is this something the akka team would accept a PR for in 2.4? it seems
like a rather small, localized change, but i haven't looked into the
actual implementation complexity.
