I mean that each instance's actors only talks to actors on its own instance; not to actors on other instances. It is quite likely I have some confusion, because so far we have not used either routing or remoting, and the tutorials I've seen for Akka Cluster use routing. > With no routing/remoting, Master would not be sending messages to them. >> > > Clustering works on top of remoting.

Yes, I see that Clustering works on top of remoting, but beyond that we want to retain existing functionality. We just want an instance to know whether to start its own worker actor system, or its own master actor system. By the way, did you mistype? Did you mean it starts up the master subsystem if it sees the singleton locally? Is there another way that wouldn't require pinging/polling? -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
