- RemoteCommunicationSpec last test currently failing, lookup of
deployment must be fixed to work zig-zag across nodes
- commit mainly to merge with Henrik’s router work and get the surface
clean
- add supervisor to remote USE message
- make remoteDaemon a VirtualPathContainer like
LocalActorRefProvider.tempContainer (i.e. synchonous with CHM-based
child lookup), scrap remoteDaemonSupervisor and rename remoteDaemon to
“/remote” to match the plans in the docs
- comment out the remote deployment configuration section, to be done
when Henrik is finished with RoutedActorRef work
- for now only “remote.nodes = ["sys@host:port"]” is looked at, i.e. if
at least one is present, the first one is used to determine where to
deploy the currently created child (routers will do the scaling-out
component) [rest is commented out]
- multi-jvm tests not yet re-enabled (need to be adapted), but all other
tests are GREEN (at least on my machine)
- create RemoteActorRef in actorFor
- simplify send/receive because Futures/Exceptions do not go over the
wire anymore
- add RemoteCommunicationSpec which uses two ActorSystems communicating
in the same JVM via TCP socket
- look-up of all actor paths in the system, even “synthetic” ones like
“/temp”
- look-up by full URI (akka://bla/...), absolute or relative path
- look-up by ActorPath
- look-up by path elements
- look-up relative to context where applicable, supporting ".."
- proper management of AskActorRef
Have a look at ActorLookupSpec to see what it can do.
- IAR is subclass of AR and SAR
- all concrete ARs implement IAR
- move sendSystemMessage to IAR
all in preparation for unifying the ActorPath look-up for local&remote
actor refs
- represent it by SerializedActorRef(path), i.e. only a “tagged” string
- remove serialize/deserialize from ActorRefProvider interface
- adapt test since deadLetters is returned when nothing found instead of
exception
- multi-jvm tests are still broken, but that is due to look-up of remote
actors, which I have just not done yet
* Fixed obvious
* Created tickets for several, #1408, #1409, #1410, #1412, #1415, 1416, #1418
* Moved LoggingReceive from akka.actor to akka.event
* Touched several of the FIXME to make them visible in code review
- duplicate name detection done within ActorCell/ActorSystem (i.e. at
parent level)
- no caching needed for local look-ups, might re-introduce cache in
remote layer
- implement suitable equals/hashCode on ActorPaths
- fix some (unintended => buggy) name reuses which previously silently
returned a different actor
- serialization & EventStreamSpec still failing, need to commit to merge
in other stuff on which the future fixes will depend
- remove references to ActorSystem
- make ChildActorPath light-weight (name & parent plus tailrec methods
for traversing towards root, e.g. toString)
- string rep is full URI always (akka://system-name@host:port/user/bla)
* Split config reference to one for each module/extension.
* Adjusted signature of registerExtension to avoid race of extension init
* Moved Duration.dilated to testkit
* TestKitExtension
* RemoteExtension
* SerializationExtension
* Durable mailboxes extensions
* Fixed broken serialization bindings and added test
* Updated configuration documentation
* System properties akka.remote.hostname akka.remote.port replaced with akka.remote.server.hostname and akka.remote.server.port
* Adjustments of ActorSystem initialization. Still don't like the two-phase constructor/init flow. Very fragile for changes.
Review fixes. SerializationExtension
- ensure that no “complex” things are attached to a LogEvent (think
serialization)
- ensure no escaping the “this” reference via LoggingBus during
constructors (e.g. ActorSystem)
- change it so that
+ Actor/ActorRef are represented by their address
+ Class[_] by simpleName
+ String by itself
- this means that people need to think a little more while deciding how
“this” should look like in logging (which I think is a good thing)
* All default values removed from code and loaded from akka-actor-reference.conf, located in src/main/resources (included in jar)
* Default test configuration included in AkkaSpec instead of using akka.test.conf, avoids problems when running test (in IDE) and forgetting to use -Dakka.mode=test.
* System.properties used first, if availble
* Next step will be to split akka-actor-reference.conf in separate -reference for each module
- create ActorSystemImpl trait to make ActorSystem fully abstract
- add Java API for constructing (ActorSystem.create(...))
- only go through factory methods because .start() has become necessary
- rename all user-facing occurrences of “app” to “system” (Actor trait
and TestKit/AkkaSpec)
- pass ActorSystemImpl to ActorRefs upon creation, which means that
actorOf() and friends need such an argument, which must be provided to
the ActorRefProvider by the ActorRefFactory implementation
- remove Props.randomName and associated logic
- ActorRefFactory contains AtomicLong which is used to generate unique
children names
- base64-like encoding is used with reverse “digit” order
- disallow given names which are null, empty or start with ‘$’
- random names start have ‘$’ prepended (‘$’ not being one of the 64
characters)
- special marker “$_” for tempPath until “/tmp” supervisor is introduced
- TestActorRef uses globally unique “$$” prefix, as it creates actors
beneath any supervisor as instructed by the user
BalancingDispatcherModelSpec is currently broken, leaves count==1 in
wavesOfActors test, committed anyway in order to check out where it
broke before this merge
