Java API constructor with default values.
Full Java API constructor.
All messages sent to the akka.actor.FSM will be wrapped inside an
Event
, which allows pattern matching to extract both state and data.
Case class representing the state of the akka.actor.FSM whithin the
onTermination
block.
This extractor is just convenience for matching a (S, S) pair, including a reminder what the new state is.

Set handler which is called upon termination of this FSM actor.
Set handler which is called upon termination of this FSM actor. Calling this method again will overwrite the previous contents.
Set handler which is called upon each state transition, i.
Set handler which is called upon each state transition, i.e. not when staying in the same state. This may use the pair extractor defined in the FSM companion object like so:
onTransition { case Old -> New => doSomething }
It is also possible to supply a 2-ary function object:
onTransition(handler _) private def handler(from: S, to: S) { ... }
The underscore is unfortunately necessary to enable the nicer syntax shown above (it uses the implicit conversion total2pf under the hood).
Multiple handlers may be installed, and every one of them will be called, not only the first one matching.

Is called when a message isn't handled by the current behavior of the actor by default it fails with either a akka.actor.DeathPactException (in case of an unhandled akka.actor.Terminated message) or publishes an akka.actor.UnhandledMessage to the actor's system's akka.event.EventStream
Insert a new StateFunction at the end of the processing chain for the given state.
Insert a new StateFunction at the end of the processing chain for the given state. If the stateTimeout parameter is set, entering this state without a differing explicit timeout setting will trigger a StateTimeout event; the same is true when using #stay.

Manages a cluster wide singleton actor instance, i.e. at most one singleton instance is running at any point in time. The ClusterSingletonManager is supposed to be started on all nodes in the cluster with
actorOf
. The actual singleton is started on the leader node of the cluster by creating a child actor from the suppliedsingletonProps
.The singleton actor is always running on the leader member, which is nothing more than the address currently sorted first in the member ring. This can change when adding or removing members. A graceful hand over can normally be performed when joining a new node that becomes leader or removing current leader node. Be aware that there is a short time period when there is no active singleton during the hand-over process.
The singleton actor can at any time send a message to its parent ClusterSingletonManager and this message will be passed to the
singletonProps
factory on the new leader node when a graceful hand-over is performed.The cluster failure detector will notice when a leader node becomes unreachable due to things like JVM crash, hard shut down, or network failure. Then a new leader node will take over and a new singleton actor is created. For these failure scenarios there will not be a graceful hand-over, but more than one active singletons is prevented by all reasonable means. Some corner cases are eventually resolved by configurable timeouts.
You access the singleton actor with
actorFor
using the names you have specified when creating the ClusterSingletonManager. You can subscribe to akka.cluster.ClusterEvent.LeaderChanged to keep track of which node it is supposed to be running on. Alternatively the singleton actor may broadcast its existence when it is started.Arguments
singletonProps Factory for akka.actor.Props of the singleton actor instance. The
Option
parameter is the thehandOverData
sent from previous singleton.handOverData
might be None when no hand-over took place, or when the there is no need for sending data to the new singleton. ThehandOverData
is typically passed as parameter to the constructor of the singleton actor.singletonName The actor name of the child singleton actor.
terminationMessage When handing over to a new leader node this
terminationMessage
is sent to the singleton actor to tell it to finish its work, close resources, and stop. It can sending a message back to the parent ClusterSingletonManager, which will passed to thesingletonProps
factory on the new leader node. The hand-over to the new leader node is completed when the singleton actor is terminated. Note that akka.actor.PoisonPill is a perfectly fineterminationMessage
if you only need to stop the actor.maxHandOverRetries When a node is becoming leader it sends hand-over request to previous leader. This is retried with the
retryInterval
until the previous leader confirms that the hand over has started, or thismaxHandOverRetries
limit has been reached. If the retry limit is reached it takes the decision to be the new leader if previous leader is unknown (typically removed or downed), otherwise it initiates a new round by throwing akka.contrib.pattern.ClusterSingletonManagerIsStuck and expecting restart with fresh state. For a cluster with many members you might need to increase this retry limit because it takes longer time to propagate changes across all nodes.maxTakeOverRetries When a leader node is not leader any more it sends take over request to the new leader to initiate the normal hand-over process. This is especially useful when new node joins and becomes leader immediately, without knowing who was previous leader. This is retried with the
retryInterval
until this retry limit has been reached. If the retry limit is reached it initiates a new round by throwing akka.contrib.pattern.ClusterSingletonManagerIsStuck and expecting restart with fresh state. This will also cause the singleton actor to be stopped.maxTakeOverRetries
must be less thanmaxHandOverRetries
to ensure that new leader doesn't start singleton actor before previous is stopped for certain corner cases.loggingEnabled Logging of what is going on at info log level.
