BalancingDispatcherModelSpec is currently broken, leaves count==1 in
wavesOfActors test, committed anyway in order to check out where it
broke before this merge
most tests passing, everything compiling, but docs not updated and nasty
thread-leak preventing me from running the whole test-suite (which is
the reason for this commit: I want to chase down that one first).
- the app.mainbus is classified by Class[_] (currently lookup, will
possibly change to sub-class-aware) and accepts AnyRef messages
- LoggingBus handles akka.event-handlers from config specially:
+ start them as system services, supervised by SystemGuardian
+ keep their subscriptions in sync when logLevel_= is called
+ send them InitializeLogger(bus) message before subscribing them (so
they can register for extras like Mute/UnMute)
- two-phased start-up: first phase with actor-less stdout logging, then
subscription of config loggers, then remove stdout logger (logLevels
configurable separately)
- MainBusReaper watches registered receivers and unsubscribes them upon
death (started in phase 2)
- logger factory on Logging object, needs app/bus and log source;
default instance in app.log
- 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
- channel field was always set to NullChannel and not used
- receiver field is better put into the Mailbox, because there it takes
space only once per actor
- leaves only the bare SystemMessage to be queued
- add Logging trait for nicer interface
- add EventHandlerLogging class for offering the nice interface from
app.log
- add eventHandler instance to app and use that for all internal logging
(this means that some places (dispatchers, remoting) were infiltrated
by app just to do logging, but I think we'll need app in there soon
enough for other reasons)
- remove global Config
- pull everything which depended on it into new AkkaApplication
- leave EventHandler alone for the moment: that evil sucker gets his
very own AkkaApplication("akka-reference.conf") until we have settled
on an acceptable logging API without globals
- make akka-actor and akka-testkit compile
- TestKit uses implicit AkkaApplication passing for maximum convenience
- Actor object nearly completely removed, actor creation possible via
ActorRefFactory interface which is implemented by AkkaApplication and
ActorContext
- serialization of ActorRef is probably broken, and so is the reflective
RemoteSupport (now needs AkkaApplication constructor arg)
- everything else is still broken, including akka-actor-tests, so this
is of course all not runtime-tested
- make Scheduled==4 to allow bitwise operations
- unfold become(status) into three methods for better inlining
- optimize patterns in setAsIdle away: table switch is probably slower
than a single conditional
- fix LoggingReceiveSpec glitch wrt. async stop()
