I make use of a cluster configuration with consistent hashing routing.

One of my actors represents a physical resource, and messages from the 
resource to the actor are routed using consistent hashing.  Thanks to this 
configuration, the actor is highly available.

The question that now arises is when this actor needs to listen for events 
in the cluster using the DistributedPubSubMediator.  Given that this actor 
might've traveled between nodes (based on cluster changes) I may have one 
of these running on multiple machines.  I'd like only the active actor, 
i.e. the actor to which messages would currently be forwarded to, to react 
to the events.

Is there a way that this actor can check if it is the consistent hash 
target, without sending a message to the router and allowing the router to 
route the message?  I.e. I'm hoping to find a library call that I can pass 
the message to, and have it return the node to which it would be forwarded 
to.

This is currently done in Java, although any advice will be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
