- replace ActorRef.stop() by ActorRefFactory.stop(child) everywhere
- ActorCell “optimizes” this to remove the child from its childrenRefs
in order to allow immediate recycling of the name
- the lost soul must have a place, for which the Locker has been
created, where Davy Jones will happily rebind the soul to his ship
(i.e. set “parent” to the locker to avoid mem leak) and periodically
revisit it (.stop(), in case of that being lost in comm failure,
similar .watch() to re-check liveness)
- moved RemoteInterface.scala into akka-remote, not needed anymore since
the plugin is loaded as ActorRefProvider now
- removed some old unused imports
- split out remote aspects from Deployer & DeployerSpec into
RemoteDeployer & RemoteDeployerSpec (the latter in akka-remote)
- created a ticket for cleaning up the rest, mostly remove all
occurrences of “remote” and “cluster” from akka-actor in this way
All of this was triggered by wanting to:
- change the signature of RemoteSupport.send to require a RemoteActorRef
recipient
- Decoupled FailureDetector from Routing by introducing ConnectionManager which uses FailureDetector instead of it being the same thing.
- Added ConnectionManager
- Added LocalConnectionManager
- Added RemoteConnectionManager
- Improved RoutedProps
- Integrated and added configuration for Scatter Gather router
- Added NoOpFailureDetector
- Misc API and documentation improvements
