Hi,
I followed the Advanced akka course in the last 2 days (which was awesome
by the way) and noticed something of the API which I think can be improved.
When you start the ClusterSharding its return type is Unit and you have to
retrieve the ShardRegion by calling the "shardRegion" on ClusterSharding.
However, this cannot take place in a short period, because
"shardRegion(...)" will 'throw new IllegalArgumentException(s"Shard type
[$typeName] must be started first")'.
In my mind it would be an improvement if the start returns an ActorRef
immediately and then buffers all requests to it until the ShardRegion is
initialized. Am I overlooking some problems with that?
Cheers,
Jeroen
-- Start ShardRegion
ClusterSharding(context.system).start(
"player",
Some(Player.props),
Player.idExtractor,
Player.shardResolver(10)
)
-- get reference to ShardRegion
val playerRegion = ClusterSharding(context.system).shardRegion("player")
