+# Flink Akka connector
+
+This connector provides a sink to [Akka](http://akka.io/) source actors in
an ActorSystem.
+To use this connector, add the following dependency to your project:
+
+
+ <dependency>
+ <groupId>org.apache.bahir</groupId>
+ <artifactId>flink-connector-akka_2.11</artifactId>
+ <version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
+ </dependency>
+
+*Version Compatibility*: This module is compatible with Akka 2.0+.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The configurations for the Receiver Actor System in Flink Akka connector
can be created using the `Configuration
(org.apache.flink.configuration.Configuration)` object in Flink.
+
+To enable acknowledgements, the custom configuration
`akka.remote.auto-ack` can be used.
+
+The user can set any of the default configuration allowed by Akka as well
as custom configuration allowed by the connector.
+
+A sample configuration can be defined as follows:
+
+ Configuration configuration = new Configuration();
+ configuration.setString("akka.loglevel", "INFO");
+ configuration.setString("akka.actor.provider",
"akka.remote.RemoteActorRefProvider");
+ configuration.setString("akka.remote.netty.tcp.hostname", "127.0.0.1");
+ configuration.setString("akka.remote.enabled-transports",
"[akka.remote.netty.tcp]");
+ configuration.setString("akka.remote.netty.tcp.port", "5150");
+ configuration.setString("akka.remote.log-sent-messages", "on");
+ configuration.setString("akka.remote.log-received-messages", "on");
+ configuration.setString("akka.remote.auto-ack", "on");

How can a user pass the `configuration` to the Akka source? Afaik its not
possible because the open(Configuration c) is not really supported in the
DataStream API of Flink.

> Components: Flink Streaming Connectors
> Reporter: Subhobrata Dey
> Fix For: Flink-0.1
>
>
> Hello,
> This issue is created to propose the idea of having a flink-streaming-akka
> source connector.
> The source connector can be used to receive messages from an Akka feeder or
> publisher actor & these messages can then be processed using flink streaming.
> The source connector has the following features.
> 1. It can supports several different message formats like iterable data,
> bytes array & data with timestamp.
> 2. It can send back acknowledgements to the feeder actor.
> Thanks & regards,
> Subhobrata
