Patrik Nordwall eaad7ecf7e !clu #3683 Change cluster heartbeat to req/rsp protocol
* The previous one-way hearbeat was elegant, but comlicated to
  understand and without giving much extra value compared to this approach.
* The previous one-way heartbeat have some kind of bug when joining
  several (10-20) nodes at approximately the same time (but not exactly
  the same time) with a false failure detection triggered by the extra heartbeat,
  which would not heal.
* This ping-pong approach will increase network traffic slightly, but heartbeat
  messages are small and each node is limited to monitor (default) 5 peers.

h1. Akka

We believe that writing correct concurrent, fault-tolerant and scalable applications is too hard. Most of the time it's because we are using the wrong tools and the wrong level of abstraction.

Akka is here to change that.

Using the Actor Model together with Software Transactional Memory we raise the abstraction level and provide a better platform to build correct concurrent and scalable applications.

For fault-tolerance we adopt the "Let it crash" model which the telecom industry has used with great success to build applications that self-heal and systems that never stop.

Actors also provide the abstraction for transparent distribution and the basis for truly scalable and fault-tolerant applications.
