Yes, the reported issue is might be real and I'd like to get more info on it to investigate, I was arguing against the suggestion made to increase the range of the scheduler.

I think there is no right or wrong answer to that, a quick solution maybe will be to change from Integer to Long which will be an easy fix with a minimal effort, that should extend it to like 500 days or more? No, because for long term scheduling you want to make sure the thing gets executed – i.e. you need persistence of the events, and also handling things like "it should have triggered in the past, but a node died, before doing it, so we need to run it now". These are design goals completely different from the Akka scheduler which is geared towards lots and lots of short and very quickly added/removed timeouts – think about all the ask timeouts in the system, there's tens of thousands of those and they last a few seconds. So there seems to be something wrong indeed, let's investigate, however it is not a goal to make the scheduler handle very large intervals – 50 days is too much already one might argue actually, but we don't restrain more because why would we :) -- Konrad -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
