Helena Edelson commented on SPARK-2593: --------------------------------------- Here is a good example of just one of the issues: it is difficult to locate a remote spark actor to publish data to the stream. Here I have to have the streaming actor get created and in the preStart, publish a custom message with `self`which my actors in my ActorSystem can receive in order to get the ActorRef to send to. This is incredibly clunky. I will try to carve out some time to do this PR this week. > Add ability to pass an existing Akka ActorSystem into Spark > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-2593 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-2593 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Spark Core > Reporter: Helena Edelson > > As a developer I want to pass an existing ActorSystem into StreamingContext > in load-time so that I do not have 2 actor systems running on a node in an > Akka application. > This would mean having spark's actor system on its own named-dispatchers as > well as exposing the new private creation of its own actor system. > > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
