GitHub user darkjh edited a discussion: Migration of big codebase from akka to 
pekko

Hello, 

I'm planning to migrate a big java codebase from akka 2.6.21 to pekko 1.0.0. To 
give an idea, there's over ~1800 files containing akka symbol import. 
The obvious option is to rename every import from `akka.*` to 
`org.apache.pekko.*` and adapt any config overrides in the codebase. However 
there's many active contributors to this codebase and this approach will create 
a lot of conflicts during the testing phase. 

I'm wondering has someone tried "smarter" approach? I tried using maven shade 
plugin to relocate classes from `org.apache.pekko` to `akka` and adapts some 
config values, and this seems to work for small examples. Maybe we can also 
intercept class loading and proxy the akka classes to pekko ones? 

Has anyone tried these "smarter" ways and are they worth pursuing? Thanks!
