- Asynchronous lockless remoting
- Pluggable transport drivers
- Multiple transport support
- Simplified lifecycle events
- Support for netty based TCP, SSL+TCP and UDP support
- Updated Akka protocol with soft-state connections and failure detection
- Refactored failure detectors (currently duplicated from cluster)
- 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
- 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
