It is a pipeline-like program. However, I want to break up the sequential design and give other developers or myself more freedom, so that I can create HTTPActor first and then create DownloadActor, or create DownloadActor first and then HTTPActor. JobDelegator will decide the order in which they are created. I think this is an interesting pattern, but I don't know if it is correct, because the structure (tree structure) of actors will be different every time, it might cause problem for supervision rules.
I actually bought "Akka in Action" book. Can you let me know which chapter you are referring to? The book is weirdly structured. Chapter 2 gives me a comprehensive understanding of how to develop and deploy Akka with Spray and it is really really helpful! Chapter 3 is about testing, which I can live with, but Chapter 4 he starts with "Fault Tolerant", "Future", "Distribution"...but I want to know more about Actors and how Actors work. I assume there should be more than what he covered in Chapter 2 right?
