Hi. As I mentioned, consider me as a newbie who is only good at coding. I want to write a project which I believe will have many simultaneous HTTP requests and many simultaneous DB queries being executed. I decided to choose Akka vs Quasar at last, and want to ask about how to fit my scenario in order to enjoy Akka miracles. My scenario is, client sends a request, I refer to DB in order to read his/her data, and then I do some processes and send a response. That's all! But in a very parallel manner. So this scenario is severely blocking. You say, use futures and let your actor do something else. That's called transforming a synchronous model to an asynchronous one. OK, I use futures, but send my actor to do what? Exactly what can I do in this case? Also let us assume I can suggest other jobs for this actor, how can I enjoy multiple threads running on a multi-core CPU? I have an actor which is cleaning the house until the pizza delivery arrives. So I hire another actor to help her, but what do I suggest to second actor? Feeding the cat? What if I don't have a cat? I mean that, in blocking (synchronous) model (Quasar uses, you know) it is simple. If you block an actor, we create another to do the same job but in parallel. They can both work on different tasks, but can easily get blocked. I don't want this model because I have chosen Akka, and I want to learn how can I transform that model efficiently to a non-blocking one so I can enjoy efficient parallelism. Thanks
