akka.actor.ActorContext is the Scala API. getContext
returns a

Is called right AFTER restart on the newly created Actor to allow reinitialization after an Actor crash.

the Throwable that caused the restart to happen
optionally the current message the actor processed when failing, if applicable
Is called on a crashed Actor right BEFORE it is restarted to allow clean up of resources before Actor is terminated.

Is called when an Actor is started. Actors are automatically started asynchronously when created. Empty default implementation.
This defines the initial actor behavior, it must return a partial function with the actor logic.
The 'self' field holds the ActorRef for this actor.

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
A channel is used by Processors (and Views) for sending Persistent messages to destinations. The main responsibility of a channel is to prevent redundant delivery of replayed messages to destinations when a processor is recovered.
A channel is instructed to deliver a persistent message to a destination with the Deliver command. A destination is provided as
ActorPath
and messages are sent via that path'sActorSelection
.To reply to the sender of a persistent message, the
sender
reference should be used as channel destination.Redundant delivery of messages to destinations is only prevented if the receipt of these messages is explicitly confirmed. Therefore, persistent messages that are delivered via a channel are of type ConfirmablePersistent. Their receipt can be confirmed by a destination by calling the
confirm()
method on these messages.If a destination does not confirm the receipt of a
ConfirmablePersistent
message, it will be redelivered by the channel according to the parameters in ChannelSettings. Redelivered messages have aredeliveries
value greater than zero.If the maximum number of redeliveries is reached for certain messages, they are removed from the channel and a
redeliverFailureListener
(if specified, see ChannelSettings) is notified about these messages with a RedeliverFailure message. Besides other application-specific tasks, this listener can restart the sending processor to enforce a redelivery of these messages or confirm these messages to prevent further redeliveries.(Since version 2.3.4) Channel will be removed, see
akka.persistence.AtLeastOnceDelivery
instead.Deliver
