I wouldn't necessary call this behavior an error, because actors can go away any time, e.g. because a remote node crashes or the network becomes unavailable. Therefore a sender never knows whether a message has been received and successfully processed, unless the receiver sends an ACK which has been received and successfully processed by the original sender.
Anyway, if you need to impose a certain shutdown order, there are ways to do that. Maybe this piece of information helps: http://letitcrash.com/post/29773618510/an-akka-2-terminator Heiko On Tue, Apr 1, 2014 at 6:14 AM, Boney Sekh <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > I'd like to know how we can control the order of stopping actor threads > during a shutdown say using the kill signal. > > Basically the background is that when my app is shutdown, we see errors > saying that the actors to which messages are to be sent next is down. > > We want to prevent such errors by ensuring the order of shutdown is from > the start of the flow to the end while finishing up any message processing > already in play. > > Is there a shutdown hook or something like that? > > > Thanks > > -- > >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ > >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: > http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html > >>>>>>>>>> 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. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/akka-user. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Heiko Seeberger Twitter: @hseeberger Blog: blog.heikoseeberger.name -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> 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.
