Re: [akka-user] Re: Cluster actors an parallelism

You could have only one routee per node that creates child actors and delegates the actual work to them. Another flexible and dynamic approach is to use Distributed Pub Sub as a "router": http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4/scala/distributed-pub-sub.html On Thu, Aug 25, 2016 at 11:20 PM, Cosmin

Thanks Patrik. I was hoping there would be a more flexible (and less hardcoded way to do this) > On 25 Aug 2016, at 18:41, Patrik Nordwall wrote: > > Start more worker actors on each node, each with a different name, let's say > worker1, worker2, worker3. Then in

Re: [akka-user] Re: Cluster actors an parallelism

Start more worker actors on each node, each with a different name, let's say worker1, worker2, worker3. Then in the config you define all 3 in the paths "paths": ["/user/worker1", "/user/worker2", "/user/worker3"] /Patrik On Thu, Aug 25, 2016 at 4:41 PM, Cosmin Marginean

Re: [akka-user] Re: Cluster actors an parallelism

Thanks, I will try to do further diagnosis, however this is a last resort. I believe I would like to understand if this kind of use case is something that Akka would natively be delivering in one form or another and / or if I'm missing a trick in terms of correct router/etc that I'm using here.

Re: [akka-user] Re: Cluster actors an parallelism

Smells like the problem is somewhere in the router? I mean, if you're only processing one message at a time, that suggests that you've only got one instance of the worker Actor running, instead of the 100 that it's trying to declare. I don't use routers, so I can't speak to this config, but

[akka-user] Re: Cluster actors an parallelism

Hi Muthu I've explored these but they're not exactly what I'm after. The use case is as follows: we have let's say 5 nodes, and 3 of them serve as "workers". These 3 should be processing a series of events/messages in parallel. We thus want some "load balancing" (consistent hashing is rigid
