Giovanni, hi! With some piece of stubbornness :) I (guess) have found a way with Source.last():
def sinkFoldM[U, T](zero: U)(f: (U, T) ⇒ Future[U]): Sink[T, Future[U]] = Sink.fromGraph { val last = Sink.last[U] GraphDSL.create(last) { implicit b => last => import GraphDSL.Implicits._ val zip = b.add(ZipWith(f)) val bcast = b.add(Broadcast[U](2)) val merge = b.add(Merge[U](2)) Source.single(zero) ~> merge ~> bcast ~> last bcast ~> zip.in0 zip.out.mapAsync(1)(identity) ~> merge SinkShape(zip.in1) } } And in hands I have got a task with needing to fold starting with future zero. So, I have tried: def sinkFoldMM[U, T](zeroFu: Future[U])(f: (U, T) ⇒ Future[U]): Sink[T, Future[U]] = Sink.fromGraph { val last = Sink.last[U] GraphDSL.create(last) { implicit b => last => import GraphDSL.Implicits._ val zip = b.add(ZipWith(f)) val bcast = b.add(Broadcast[U](2)) val merge = b.add(Merge[U](2)) Source.fromFuture(zeroFu) ~> merge ~> bcast ~> last bcast ~> zip.in0 zip.out.mapAsync(1)(identity) ~> merge SinkShape(zip.in1) } } By some reason this test val upTo = 20000000; //val upTo = 0; val result = Source(0 until upTo).runWith(sinkFoldMM(Future(0))((a, x) => Future(a + x))) println(Await.result(result, 10.minutes)) sys.exit(0) takes two times more CPU time in comparison with sinkFoldM (~50 second vs. ~25 second). -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
