cherry-picked from release-1.3
The ticket contains more methods around this issue, both on Actor and
Future itself, but I think it is better to provide the basic primitive
in a way which does not further couple Future and Actor. Will need to be
revisited for 2.0.
- moved typed actor factories to app/context (like actor factories)
- fixed a few misplaced supervision changes, all such tests green now
- actually test akka-reference.conf in ConfigSpec
- made DispatcherActorSpec more deterministic (failed intermittently
here, was due to race towards thread pool)
- wrapped all actor initialization failures into
ActorInitializationException and made sure that this leads to Stop
- default to Stop on ActorKilledException
- fixed ActorModelSpec to separately supervise the “waves of actors”
because otherwise the app.guardian is way too busy processing all
those ChildTerminated messages
- change ActorCell._children from Vector[Stats] to TreeMap[ActorRef,
Stats] for performance reasons, have not measured memory impact, yet
- ensured that InterrupedException does not leave current thread via
Failed message to supervisor (wrapped in ActorInterruptedException)
- set core-size=1 and max-size=4 for default dispatcher during test
- AkkaApplication.stop() will stop the guardian; when that stops, it
will send ChildTerminated to the BubbleWalker, who will then complete
a Promise
- AkkaApplication.terminationFuture is that Promise and available for
registration of onComplete callback, used now to shutdown the
Scheduler
- AkkaSpec extends BeforeAndAfterAll and uses that to call app.stop(),
exposing atStartup() and atTermination() overridable hooks
- fixed some tests
- every actor is now supervised, where the root of the tree is
app.guardian, which has its supervisor field set to a special ActorRef
obtained from provider.theOneWhoWalksTheBubblesOfSpaceTime (this name
is meant to indicate that this ref is outside of the universe, cf.
Michio Kaku)
- changed all tests to obtain specially supervised children (i.e. not
top-level) via (supervisor ? Props).as[ActorRef].get
- add private[akka] ScalaActorRef.sendSystemMessage for sending
Supervise()
- everything routing or remote is broken wrt. supervision, as that was
not “properly” implemented to begin with, will be tackled after
app/supervision/eventbus/AkkaSpec are stabilized enough
