Hi Paul,

Akka streams is still under development and marked as an experimental feature. 
Currently they can _not_ take advantage of the nodes in an akka cluster without 
writing all the code youserlf and connecting them over TCP. Doing this 
automatically is of course something that we have been thinking about, but it 
is still only on the drawing board.

Why do you feel that you are not ready for Spark? It would be very good 
feedback to know what to improve with akka streams.

We did a POC in Spark Streaming, but we are not yet ready for Spark.

I was looking at using Storm, but the abstractions make me sad, at least 
compared to how you can pipeline in Spark.

I am investigating using Akka Streams as an alternative to Storm, since we can 
support Akka + Play in production today.  It feels like Akka Streams + Akka 
Clustering makes for a way to setup distributed pipelines to process large data 
flows.

I was wondering if anyone can give me any pointers on how to setup Akka Streams 
so that it runs on a cluster (or if it is even possible).
