I have a number of persistent actors that write to disk files that may potentially be NFS files, so IO failure are possible. I was going to wrap the PersistentActors in BackoffSupervisors to deal with any IO errors, but I noticed this in the BackoffSupervisor source:
* '''*** * This supervisor should not be used with `Akka Persistence` child actors. * `Akka Persistence` actors shutdown unconditionally on `persistFailure()`s rather * than throw an exception on a failure like normal actors. * [[#onStop]] should be used instead for cases where the child actor * terminates itself as a failure signal instead of the normal behavior of throwing an exception. * ***''' That's not in the docs, it's just a source code comment - I'd have thought it was important anough a restriction to be in the scaladocs? Also, if BackoffSupervisor shouldn't be used with PersistentActors, what is the correct way of dealing with IO failures in persistent actors? -- Alan Burlison -- -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
