Well the node leaving does nothing but shut down. The other nodes go on with life of course.
That's exactly the problem though: You exit the JVM before anyone has the chance to even receive the Leave message. You should await the gossip message, basically: Cluster.subscribe(self, classOf[MemberRemoved]) ... case MembreRemoved(address) if address == selfAddress => System.exit() Replied in a bit of a rush, hope you get the idea :-) You can also check out my Zen of Akka talk for a bit more wordy explanation of this. -- Konrad `ktoso` Malawski Akka <http://akka.io> @ Lightbend <http://lightbend.com> -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
