You can just use the Agents as was explained in my previous email. We're moving them out, shouldn't really stop you from using it.
If you want to officially maintain them let us know. -- Konrad `ktoso` Malawski Akka <http://akka.io> @ Lightbend <http://lightbend.com> On 13 January 2017 at 16:46:30, Konrad Malawski ( konrad.malaw...@lightbend.com) wrote: Correction, Agents are not gone. They will be deprecated in 2.5, they are present in 2.4. Just Actors ;-) More is documented in the upcoming migration docs: https://github.com/akka/akka/blob/master/akka-docs/rst/project/migration-guide-2.4.x-2.5.x.rst#agents-are-now-deprecated Agents are now deprecated Akka Agents are a very simple way of containing mutable state and allowing to access it safely from multiple threads. The abstraction is leaky though, as Agents do not work over the network (unlike Akka Actors). As users were often confused by "when to use an Actor vs. when to use an Agent?" a decision was made to deprecate the Agents, as they rarely are really enough and do not fit the Akka spirit of thinking about distribution. We also anticipate to replace the uses of Agents by the upcoming Akka Typed, so in preparation thereof the Agents have been deprecated in 2.5. If you use Agents and would like to take over the maintanance thereof, please contact the team on gitter or github. -- Konrad `ktoso` Malawski Akka <http://akka.io> @ Lightbend <http://lightbend.com> On 13 January 2017 at 16:42:37, scala solist (scalasol...@gmail.com) wrote: Sometimes you need to do coordinated work between actors and modify shared state. The state in broad sense is separated by actors, there is no need to share them all. But sometimes there is a need to share small chunk of state and work with it with several actors. How it should be done in the recent akka? -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
