I have now read the sharding documentation, and this in the template. Sorry I jumped the gun in my excitement :) >> To send messages to the identifier of the Post actor you need to send them via the shardRegion actor, which can be retrieved via theClusterSharding extension. The sharding feature knows how to route the message and it will on demand allocate the Post actors to cluster nodes and create the actor instances. Exactly how this works under the hood is described in the documentation<http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.3.0-RC4/contrib/cluster-sharding.html> . << It still feels a bit weird to think of actors as "entries" rather than workers.
