- fixed so that netty pipeline when generating addresses does not need
to know the system name of the connecting client (which might differ
from the local one, of course)
- this entailed differentiating between transport addresses and system
addresses, which I took as an opportunity to separate everything out
properly so that address schemas can easily be made pluggable
- made RemoteSupport generic in the address format it supports
- adapt netty stuff, and made everything else work with the most
generic: ParsedTransportAddress
- did I mention that I statically separated unparsed from parsed
addresses?
- 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
- 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
* 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)
- 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
BalancingDispatcherModelSpec is currently broken, leaves count==1 in
wavesOfActors test, committed anyway in order to check out where it
broke before this merge
