Hi,
I am investigating akka-http as a potential replacement for spray for our
new microservices. There we have lots of blocking IO operations that are
pretty easy to handle with spray by wrapping them in Future and blocking
and providing a separate thread pool.
I tried to test the same approach with simple Akka HTTP code:
object Main extends App with SimpleAkkaHttpMain with Logging
trait SimpleAkkaHttpMain {
implicit val system: ActorSystem = ActorSystem()
implicit def executor: ExecutionContextExecutor = system.dispatcher
val endpointDispatcher =
system.dispatchers.lookup("akka.dispatchers.threadpool-dispatcher")
implicit val materializer: Materializer = ActorMaterializer()
Http().bindAndHandle(new SimpleEndpoint(endpointDispatcher).routes(),
"0.0.0.0", 9000)
}
class SimpleEndpoint(_context: ExecutionContext) extends Directives {
implicit val context = _context
def routes() = {
(get & path("test")) {
complete {
Future {
blocking {
Thread.sleep(2000)
}
"test"
}
}
}
}
}
Config:
threadpool-dispatcher {
type = Dispatcher
executor = "thread-pool-executor"
thread-pool-executor {
core-pool-size-min = 2
core-pool-size-factor = 2.0
core-pool-size-max = 100
}
}
I ran the following terminal command to test it:
> ab -n 50 -c 4 http://localhost:9000/test
Benchmarking localhost (be patient)...apr_socket_recv: Connection reset by peer
(54)
Total of 10 requests completed
This is what I see in logs:

A similar test for Spray works smoothly. Can you please help me with advice
what one can do to process blocking operations in akka-http?
