Hello there, I am working on akka-persistence and my use case looks like following
- Jobs are submitted to PersistentActor, which are then journaled to leveldb. I also maintain a state variable (as shown in the akka docs <http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/scala/persistence.html>) - There are worker actors who work on these jobs. - Once worker completes the job successfully, I would like to remove the job from leveldb and update the state variable. I looked at the message deletion <http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/snapshot/scala/persistence.html#Message_deletion> section, which has deleteMessages(toSequenceNr) API, but my confusion is that I do not know the toSequenceNr. Infact, there may be many workers working on different jobs at any time, and I want to remove a specific job which is completed successfully. Once the message is deleted, I am ideally making this journal bounded (otherwise it will increases forever). In this case, snapshots will be smaller as well. How can I achieve this use case? Or am I not doing things right? My current code looks like import akka.actor.{Props, ActorSystem, ActorLogging} import akka.event.LoggingReceive import akka.persistence.{SaveSnapshotFailure, SaveSnapshotSuccess, SnapshotOffer, PersistentActor} case class Command(data: String) case class Event(data: String) case object InternalState case object TakeSnapshot case object ShutDown case object Fail case class State(queue: List[String] = Nil) { def updated(event: Event): State = copy(event.data :: queue) def size: Int = queue.length override def toString: String = queue.reverse.toString } class PersistentSnapshotActor extends PersistentActor with ActorLogging { override def persistenceId = "snapshot-persistence-id" var state = State() def updateState(event: Event) = state = state.updated(event) def numberOfEvents = state.size def receiveRecover = LoggingReceive { case event: Event => updateState(event) case SnapshotOffer(_, snapshot: State) => log.debug(s"offered state: $snapshot") state = snapshot } def receiveCommand = LoggingReceive { case Command(data) => persist(Event(data))(updateState) case Fail => throw new Exception("killing persistent actor.") case ShutDown => context.stop(self) case InternalState => println(state) case TakeSnapshot => saveSnapshot(state) delete case SaveSnapshotSuccess => log.debug("snapshot saved successfully.") case SaveSnapshotFailure(_, reason) => log.error(s"failed to save snapshot: $reason") } } object PersistentSnapshotActorApp extends App { val system = ActorSystem("snapshotSystem") val persistentActor = system.actorOf(Props[PersistentSnapshotActor], "persistentSnapshotActor") persistentActor ! Command("1") persistentActor ! Command("2") persistentActor ! Command("3") persistentActor ! Command("4") persistentActor ! TakeSnapshot persistentActor ! InternalState persistentActor ! Command("5") persistentActor ! TakeSnapshot persistentActor ! Fail persistentActor ! InternalState } Thanks a lot -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
