----------------------------------------
Summary: Replace Akka
Key: FLINK-29281
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-29281
Project: Flink
Issue Type: Technical Debt
Components: Runtime / RPC
Reporter: Chesnay Schepler
Assignee: Chesnay Schepler
Following the license change I propose to eventually replace Akka.
Based on LEGAL-619 an exemption is not feasible, and while a fork _may_ be
created it's long-term future is up in the air and I'd be uncomfortable with
relying on it.
I've been experimenting with a new RPC implementation based on gRPC and so far
I'm quite optimistic. It's also based on Netty while not requiring as much of a
tight coupling as Akka did.
