Hi guys, I'm wondering are there any drawback on using Identify and ActorIndentity reply for flow control mechanism. Why I want to use Identify & ActorIndentity - because those are implicitly implemented in all actor.
So let's say producer is sending messages with high rate to consumer, and after each N messages sent producer will send Identify and more N messages, thus ActorIndentity reply means that actor finished with all previous messages, and producer can send more N messages. Idea that slow consumer will have up to 2N messages + Identify It will give me ability to decrease pressure on consumer and better throughput then Pull or Ack based approaches Consumer actor state example with N=2 *PROCESSING* msg1 *MAILBOX* msg2 Identify msg3 msg4 after a while: *PROCESSING* msg3 *MAILBOX* msg4 msg5 Identify msg6 msg7 Thanks in advance. -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: http://akka.io/faq/ >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
