The primary goal for streams is to provide a unified way to handle
backpressure across asynchronous and probably remote boundaries. So the
primary goal is safe integration across multiple threads/hosts over
network/IO etc. The shuffle you need is a fairly special one I am not sure
it will be covered by akka-streams. Remember though that akka-streams is
just an implementation of the reactive-streams standard -- in the future
there will be probably adapters to Spark/Storm/etc. so you will be able to
plug your akka streams together with big-data oriented frameworks.
