Do I need to specify how many nodes or shards I want to distribute to ? Node can go up and down right.. Can the Akka cluster discover how many nodes are available at any given time? Also, Why should I manually down the node? I know that there is a failure detector so if the Akka cluster

Re: [akka-user] Re: Cassandra Time Stamp Problem and How Akka can help?

Look at it this way -- typically, you're generating events about some *thing*, which corresponds to the key you're using in Cassandra. That's the "entity" I'm talking about, and typically it would have a single Actor in Akka, to which all events are being sent. That Actor mediates all the
