Hi Tom, the core feature of Akka Cluster is location transparency: all Actors within the cluster can seamlessly communicate via their ActorRefs. Including something that is not really part of the cluster, or that can at least not fully participate in the location transparent setting, will likely lead to impedance mismatch down the road—and quite possibly some pain and suffering.
Why don’t you communicate between your Android device and some cluster members using an established protocol suite like HTTP? That way you will not have trouble telling different kinds of ActorRefs apart regarding their semantic limitations.
