class ClusterSingletonProxy extends Actor with Stash with ActorLogging

The ClusterSingletonProxy works together with the akka.contrib.pattern.ClusterSingletonManager to provide a distributed proxy to the singleton actor.

The proxy can be started on every node where the singleton needs to be reached and used as if it were the singleton itself. It will then act as a router to the currently running singleton instance. If the singleton is not currently available, e.g., during hand off or startup, the proxy will stash the messages sent to the singleton and then unstash them when the singleton is finally available. The proxy mixes in the akka.actor.Stash trait, so it can be configured accordingly.

The proxy works by keeping track of the oldest cluster member. When a new oldest member is identified, e.g., because the older one left the cluster, or at startup, the proxy will try to identify the singleton on the oldest member by periodically sending an akka.actor.Identify message until the singleton responds with its akka.actor.ActorIdentity.

Note that this is a best effort implementation: messages can always be lost due to the distributed nature of the actors involved.

Instance Constructors

  1. new ClusterSingletonProxy(singletonPathString: String, role: Option[String], singletonIdentificationInterval: FiniteDuration)

    singletonPathString

    The logical path of the singleton. This does not include the node address or actor system name, e.g., it can be something like /user/singletonManager/singleton.

    role

    Cluster role on which the singleton is deployed. This is required to keep track only of the members where the singleton can actually exist.

    singletonIdentificationInterval

    Periodicity at which the proxy sends the Identify message to the current singleton actor selection.
