Thanks for the follow up -- the idea you posted is related, but not quite 
it.

I wrote a self-contained working example below. What I do in this example 
is manually materialize a graph, and wrap it as a future, making it usable 
by mapAsync.

*Ideal: to define an entire graph such that the materialized subgraphs in 
lineRewriter are instantiated and managed by akka itself.*

Can the code below be converted to do such a thing? (Scala responses also 
great, but this happens to be java.)

    // materialize entire subgraph as an async func
    public static CompletionStage<String> lineRewriter(Materializer mat, 
String line) {
        return Source
            .from(Arrays.asList(line.split(" ")))           // unroll
            .via(Flow.fromFunction(String::toUpperCase))    // per-item 
processing
            .runReduce((acc, w) -> acc + " " + w, mat);     // rollup
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final String batchesStr = "a word or two\nseparated by 
newlines\nmakes for a simple\nstreaming batch test.";
        final Source<String, NotUsed> batches = 
Source.from(Arrays.asList(batchesStr.split("\n")));
        final Sink<String, CompletionStage<Done>> printResp = 
Sink.foreach(System.out::println);

        batches.mapAsync(1, line -> lineRewriter(materializer, 
line)).toMat(printResp, Keep.right())
            .run(materializer)
            .thenApply(d -> { system.terminate(); return d; })
            .exceptionally(t -> { system.terminate(); return 
Done.getInstance(); });
    }
