Hello All, I am making a Scala/Akka Actor based application.
It is necessary for me to query an actor from a controller. The queried actor is always the same; only one of these exist. >From the controller I am using the "ask' pattern to send a query message to the actor. The query message contains a unique key that the actor uses to lookup information which it formats into a response message and sends the message back to the controller. I have coded this and it seems to work fine; used it extensively. Here is my concern: Many clients can be making queries at once. Let's say that there are two queries overlapping in time. One of the queries contains the key "abc". The other query contain the key "xyz". Since this is async. can a race condition occur that responds to the "abc" keyed query with the "xyz" keyed data because "xyz" arrives first. Maybe I am worrying about nothing. Is this managed automatically under the hood?
