public class AdaptiveLoadBalancingRouter
extends java.lang.Object
implements DeprecatedRouterConfig, PoolOverrideUnsetConfig<AdaptiveLoadBalancingRouter>, scala.Product, scala.Serializable

A Router that performs load balancing of messages to cluster nodes based on cluster metric data.

It uses random selection of routees based on probabilities derived from the remaining capacity of corresponding node.

Please note that providing both 'nrOfInstances' and 'routees' does not make logical sense as this means that the router should both create new actors and use the 'routees' actor(s). In this case the 'nrOfInstances' will be ignored and the 'routees' will be used.
The configuration parameter trumps the constructor arguments. This means that if you provide either 'nrOfInstances' or 'routees' during instantiation they will be ignored if the router is defined in the configuration file for the actor being used.

Supervision Setup

Any routees that are created by a router will be created as the router's children. The router is therefore also the children's supervisor.

The supervision strategy of the router actor can be configured with withSupervisorStrategy(akka.actor.SupervisorStrategy). If no strategy is provided, routers default to a strategy of &ldquo;always escalate&rdquo;. This means that errors are passed up to the router's supervisor for handling.

The router's supervisor will treat the error as an error with the router itself. Therefore a directive to stop or restart will cause the router itself to stop or restart. The router, in turn, will cause its children to stop and restart.

param: metricsSelector decides what probability to use for selecting a routee, based on remaining capacity as indicated by the node metrics param: routees string representation of the actor paths of the routees that will be looked up using actorFor in ActorRefProvider

AdaptiveLoadBalancingRouter

public AdaptiveLoadBalancingRouter(MetricsSelector selector,
                                   int nr)

Java API: Constructor that sets nrOfInstances to be created.

Parameters:

selector - the selector is responsible for producing weighted mix of routees from the node metrics

nr - number of routees to create

AdaptiveLoadBalancingRouter

public AdaptiveLoadBalancingRouter(MetricsSelector selector,
                                   java.lang.Iterable<java.lang.String> routeesPaths)

Java API: Constructor that sets the routees to be used.

Parameters:

selector - the selector is responsible for producing weighted mix of routees from the node metrics

routeesPaths - string representation of the actor paths of the routees that will be looked up using actorFor in ActorRefProvider

AdaptiveLoadBalancingRouter

public AdaptiveLoadBalancingRouter(MetricsSelector selector,
                                   Resizer resizer)

Java API: Constructor that sets the resizer to be used.

Parameters:

selector - the selector is responsible for producing weighted mix of routees from the node metrics

resizer - (undocumented)

Method Detail

metricsSelector

public MetricsSelector metricsSelector()

nrOfInstances

public int nrOfInstances()

Description copied from interface: Pool

Initial number of routee instances

Specified by:

nrOfInstances in interface Pool

Returns:

(undocumented)

routees

public scala.collection.immutable.Iterable<java.lang.String> routees()

resizer

public scala.Option<Resizer> resizer()

Description copied from interface: Pool

Pool with dynamically resizable number of routees return the Resizer to use. The resizer is invoked once when the router is created, before any messages can be sent to it. Resize is also triggered when messages are sent to the routees, and the resizer is invoked asynchronously, i.e. not necessarily before the message has been sent.

Specified by:

Returns:

(undocumented)
