Hello, I have read all of the documentation. I am missing a simple overview that contains the different types of elements.
As far as I can tell there are two things: Graph and Stage. A graph has a `shape` which describes it's input's and it's outputs. There are a few specialized shapes which are treated differently: - Source - Sink - Stage / Flow - FanIn - FanOut It seems the only way to create a FanIn or FanOut shaped graph that can be handled correctly is to use FlexiMerge or FlexiRoute, please correct me if I'm wrong. A stage is the implementation of something that is part of the chain: 1 upstream, 1 downstream I wanted to write my own graph that acts similar to unzip and filter: the input is split on a predicate. However when looking at the source code, I found that Unzip is not built using the building blocks that are available to us library users. It's actually implemented using a private internal actor using a totally different mechanism than is available to us. In the Unzip case, an example is available in the documentation. I would be nice if the "eat your own dog food" principle had been used here. That would allow me to look at the implementation of the junctions to get an idea on how to create them (as the documentation does not cover them). I doubt you will change the implementation as you already are at RC2, but it would be great if examples were created for the built-in junctions using the public API's. Back to my original problem: A simple shape, one input, two outputs. One of the outputs is chosen based on a predicate. I could create a graph like this: source ~> broadcast broadcast ~> filterTrue ~> out1 broadcast ~> filterFalse ~> out2 It would however be nice if I could create a graph using the other tools. My guess is that I would need to use the FlexiRoute, the interface for this thing is hard, any help is appreciated.
