Returns the Decider that is associated with this SupervisorStrategy. The Decider is invoked by the default implementation of handleFailure to obtain the Directive to be applied.

This method is called after the child has been removed from the set of children. It does not need to do anything special. Exceptions thrown from this method do NOT make the actor fail if this happens during termination.

This is the main entry point: in case of a child’s failure, this method must try to handle the failure by resuming, restarting or stopping the child (and returning true), or it returns false to escalate the failure, which will lead to this actor re-throwing the exception which caused the failure. The exception will not be wrapped.

This method calls akka.actor.SupervisorStrategy#logFailure, which will log the failure unless it is escalated. You can customize the logging by setting akka.actor.SupervisorStrategy#loggingEnabled to false and do the logging inside the decider or override the logFailure method.

Default logging of actor failures when akka.actor.SupervisorStrategy#loggingEnabled is true. Escalate failures are not logged here, since they are supposed to be handled at a level higher up in the hierarchy. Resume failures are logged at Warning level. Stop and Restart failures are logged at Error level.

Logging of actor failures is done when this is true.

This method is called to act on the failure of a child: restart if the flag is true, stop otherwise.

Restart the given child, possibly suspending it first.

IMPORTANT:

If the child is the currently failing one, it will already have been suspended, hence suspendFirst must be false. If the child is not the currently failing one, then it did not request this treatment and is therefore not prepared to be resumed without prior suspend.

Resume the previously failed child: do never apply this to a child which is not the currently failing child. Suspend/resume needs to be done in matching pairs, otherwise actors will wake up too soon or never at all.
