Note: This is NOT aimed to provide an micro-benchmarking solution.
The goal is to provide data for broad trend analysis. For techniques
that fight the inliner and other specialised techniques, refer to JMH.
+ custom console and graphite reporters
- had to be custom because it's not possible to add custom metric
types to the existing reporters
+ initial hdr.Histogram histogram() provider, see
http://latencyutils.github.io/LatencyUtils/
+ Not using timers provided by Metrics, instead use the above histogram
+ Added average Actor size measurement
+ Measuring the "blocking time" when an actor is created, before we fire
of the async part of this process; Measures in loop and will fluctuate
a lot. Times are in `us` -- System.nanoTime should provide good enough
resolution.
+ Measuring total actor creation time by using
`KnownOpsInTimespanTimer`, which given a known number of ops, in a
large amount of time, roughtly estimates time per one operation.
// Yes, we are aware of the possibility of GC pauses and other horrors
+ All classes are `private[akka]`, we should not encourage people to use
this yet
+ Counters use Java 8's `LongAdder`, which is metric's private;
The new trend in Java land will be copy paste-ing this class ;)
+ Metrics are logged to Graphite, so we can long-term analyse these
+ Reporters are configurable using typesafe-config
! I'm not very happy about how I work around Metrics not being too open
for adding additional custom metrics. Seems like a hack at places.
I will consider removing the Metrics dependency all together.

Example output:
```

actor-creation.total.creating-100000-actors.Props|new-EmptyArgsActor|…||-same
ops = 100000
time = 1.969 s
ops/s = 50782.22

abort() currently only changes that remote-deployed child actors are not
waited for during termination (because that would not change anything);
it is still a different operation than shutdown() since it changes what
you are guaranteed to observe after termination.
testConductor.shutdown(..., abort = true) uses this mode of termination.
improve MultiNodeSpec to allow injection of deployment configuration
into arbitrary actor systems
include number of received elements in the timeout failure message for
TestKit.receiveN
* because it is not referentially transparent; normally we reserved parens for
side-effecting code but given how people thoughtlessly close over it we revised
that that decision for sender
* caller can still omit parens
* afterAll not called when all tests marked as ignore,
invokeBeforeAllAndAfterAllEvenIfNoTestsAreExpected = true
should solve that, but changed to pending in Ticket1978 anyway
* Try to shutdown when ActorSystem init fails. It is difficult
to cover all scenarios, but this should improve the situation.
This was the reason why DeployerSpec leaked.
* missing shutdown in some tests
- rewrite deprecated usages to their recommended counterparts
- TestActorRef now verifies mailbox requirements
- CallingThreadMailbox now exposes proper messageQueue type for
inspection
* Separate routing logic, to be usable stand alone, e.g. in actors
* Simplify RouterConfig, only a factory
* Move reading of config from Deployer to the RouterConfig
* Distiction between Pool and Group router types
* Remove usage of actorFor, use ActorSelection
* Management messages to add and remove routees
* Simplify the internals of RoutedActorCell & co
* Move resize specific code to separate RoutedActorCell subclass
* Change resizer api to only return capacity change
* Resizer only allowed together with Pool
* Re-implement all routers, and keep old api during deprecation phase
* Replace ClusterRouterConfig, deprecation
* Rewrite documentation
* Migration guide
* Also includes related ticket:
+act #3087 Create nicer Props factories for RouterConfig
* This can't go into 2.2.x since ScalaTest 1.9.2-SNAP2 has source incompatible changes and the dependecy in akka-multi-node-node-testkit would force people to upgrade.
- add “mailbox-requirement” key to dispatcher section
- split out mailbox section, add akka.actor.default-mailbox
- rewrite findMarker method and use it for Props.create() and getting
the required mailbox of an actor
- add ProducesMessageQueue trait for MailboxType so that requirements
can be checked before trying to create the actor for real
- verify actor as well as dispatcher requirements for message queue
before creation, even in remote-deployed case
- change MessageDispatcher constructor to take a Configurator, add that
to migration guide
