Could you please clarify what do you mean here:
Thread.sleep(2000 + scala.util.Random.nextInt(1000)) //????
system.scheduler.scheduleOnce could be used too, but worker Actor can block
The 'worker Actor' won't block in terms of thread block. It will simply be
delayed by the scheduler while the containing Actor finishes, thus
releasing the worker thread to be reassigned to other tasks in waiting. Am
I missing something from your comment? If not, then why couldn't this be
implemented similar to what you did on line 27?
