Hi Eduardo, The ClusterSharding extension supports configuration of one role to use a subset of nodes, but that is not what you are looking for. Instead of using the ClusterSharding extension you may start the actors yourself and thereby specify the roles. See: ShardCoordinatorSupervisor.props ShardCoordinator.props ShardRegion.props
Note that the ShardCoordinatorSupervisor is supposed be started with a ClusterSingletonManager. See here: https://github.com/akka/akka/blob/v2.3.3/akka-contrib/src/main/scala/akka/contrib/pattern/ClusterSharding.scala#L360 Cheers, Patrik On Fri, May 30, 2014 at 1:20 PM, Eduardo Fernandes <edu...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all. > > Probably this is a silly question but I couldn't find any clear answer in > the group or docs. > > Suppose I have a cluster with 4 nodes with 2 roles (2 node instances per > role).
