I have one more question, if you please. It seems that you have a control actor (singleton), which knows about Pipelines, and the pipelines are actually started in a cluster. And every pipeline creates its own set of FSM actors *locally**, *passing them the references to the stateless worker actors.
What I'm trying to get is slightly different scenario - I need to have a set of FSM actors with role *"A"* in the cluster, and set of FSM actors with role *"B"* in the cluster, and set of workers with role *"W"* in the cluster - that's not a problem. But due to the nature of FSM, it can not process several tasks at once, so I need to "lock" actors of role *"A"* and *"B"* somehow for new tasks. It's easy to perform such a locking in the singleton actor, which keeps references to actors *"A"*, but I'm not sure how to implement lock of actors pf role *"B"* - because these actors could be accessed from literally any of actor of type *"A"* I can think of 2 ways: 1) maintain another singleton actor, which will keep references to actors with role *"B"*, so any FSM in *"A"* will ask this actor for a path to *"B"* 2) every actor in *"A"* will subscripe to MemberUp events ot role *"B"* and will keep trying to send a message to every of known actor of type *"B"*until the message will be accepted (actor *"B"* will reject incoming message if it's processing another one) May be there's another, more elegant solution? Perhaps Akka cluster can have custom statuses assigned to the actor?
