Have a look at "cluster sharding”, it’s smarter than just routers.

Now take a step forward to have the workers in a cluster. The master needs to dispatch jobs to workers. I'm looking at the document of router, https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/cluster-usage.html?language=scala#router-with-pool-of-remote-deployed-routees. My thought is worker code can be dynamically deployed and join the cluster when needed. Let's say I have these 2 components running in different nodes. - Master: accepts jobs and dispatches them to WorkerAdvisor. - WorkerAdvisor: creates an actual worker to run the job. Now how the Master knows dispatches a job to a WorkerAdvisor which is free. Broadcasting job to all WorkerAdvisors doesn't seem to be a good way because we don't want a job to run in multiple places. Maintaining state of WorkerAdvisor in Master seems odd to me as well. -- >>>>>>>>>> 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.
