Actual transports may provide stronger semantics,
but at-most-once is the semantics you should expect.
The alternatives would be once-and-only-once, which is extremely costly,
or at-least-once which essentially requires idempotency of message processing,
which is a user-level concern.
Ordering is preserved on a per-sender basis

Actor ``A1` sends messages ``M1``, ``M2``, ``M3`` to ``A2``
Actor ``A3`` sends messages ``M4``, ``M5``, ``M6`` to ``A2``
This means that:
1) If ``M1`` is delivered it must be delivered before ``M2`` and ``M3``
2) If ``M2`` is delivered it must be delivered before ``M3``
3) If ``M4`` is delivered it must be delivered before ``M5`` and ``M6``

Creating Actors
===============
Actors can be created either by:
* Extending the Actor class and implementing the receive method.
* Create an anonymous actor using one of the actor methods.
Defining an Actor class

Actor classes are implemented by extending the Actor class and implementing the
``receive`` method. The ``receive`` method should define a series of case

statements (which has the type ``PartialFunction[Any, Unit]``) that defines
which messages your Actor can handle, using standard Scala pattern matching,

Please note that the Akka Actor ``receive`` message loop is exhaustive, which is
different compared to Erlang and Scala Actors. This means that you need to
provide a pattern match for all messages that it can accept and if you want to
be able to handle unknown messages then you need to have a default case as in

to create actors from other actors with the actor ``context``. The difference is
how the supervisor hierarchy is arranged. When using the context the current actor
will be supervisor of the created child actor. When using the system it will be
a top level actor, that is supervised by the system (internal guardian actor).

Running a block of code asynchronously

a task. Code blocks spawned up like this are always implicitly started, shut
down and made eligible for garbage collection. The actor that is created "under

run the block in an event-based thread and exit once the block has run to

Actor Internal API
==================
Actor API
=========
The :class:`Actor` trait defines only one abstract method, the above mentioned
:meth:`receive`. In addition, it offers two convenience methods
:meth:`become`/:meth:`unbecome` for modifying the hotswap behavior stack as
described in :ref:`Actor.HotSwap` and the :obj:`self` reference to this actor’s
:class:`ActorRef` object. If the current actor behavior does not match a
received message, :meth:`unhandled` is called, which by default throws an
:class:`UnhandledMessageException`.
:meth:`receive`, which implements the behavior of the actor.
If the current actor behavior does not match a received message, :meth:`unhandled`
is called, which by default throws an :class:`UnhandledMessageException`.
In addition, it offers:
* :obj:`self` reference to the :class:`ActorRef` of the actor
* :obj:`sender` reference sender Actor of the last received message, typically used as described in :ref:`Actor.Reply`
* :obj:`context` exposes contextual information for the actor and the current message, such as:
* factory method to create child actors (:meth:`actorOf`)
* system that the actor belongs to
* parent supervisor
* supervised children
* hotswap behavior stack as described in :ref:`Actor.HotSwap`
You can import the members in the :obj:`context` to avoid prefixing access with ``context.``

When using future callbacks, such as ``onComplete``, ``onResult``, and ``onTimeout``,
inside actors you need to carefully avoid closing over the containing actor’s
reference, i.e. do not call methods or access mutable state on the enclosing actor
from within the callback. This would break the actor encapsulation and may
introduce synchronization bugs and race conditions because the callback
will be scheduled concurrently to the enclosing actor. Unfortunately
