Hello Barak, Killing an Actor will “remove it from memory” (make it eligable for GC), same rule holds for Persistent Actors. To kill it and keep the persistent state just send a PoisonPill or an application level message that will ask the actor to context stop self.
If you want to discard the same for the given persistenceId, you can during postStop() trigger deleteMessages(lastSequenceNr) (and deleteSnapshots(SnapshotSelectionCriteria.Latest) for snapshots). Hope this helps, happy hakking! -- Konrad 'ktoso' Malawski hAkker @ typesafe http://akka.io -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
