ConsistentHashingRouter

case class ConsistentHashingRouter(nrOfInstances: Int = 0, routees: Iterable[String] = immutable.this.Nil, resizer: Option[Resizer] = scala.None, routerDispatcher: String = ..., supervisorStrategy: SupervisorStrategy = Router.defaultSupervisorStrategy, virtualNodesFactor: Int = 0, hashMapping: ConsistentHashMapping = ...) extends RouterConfig with ConsistentHashingLike with OverrideUnsetConfig[ConsistentHashingRouter] with Product with Serializable

A Router that uses consistent hashing to select a connection based on the sent message.

There is 3 ways to define what data to use for the consistent hash key.

1. You can define hashMapping / withHashMapper of the router to map incoming messages to their consistent hash key. This makes the decision transparent for the sender.

2. The messages may implement akka.routing.ConsistentHashingRouter.ConsistentHashable. The key is part of the message and it's convenient to define it together with the message definition.

3. The messages can be be wrapped in a akka.routing.ConsistentHashingRouter.ConsistentHashableEnvelope to define what data to use for the consistent hash key. The sender knows the key to use.

These ways to define the consistent hash key can be use together and at the same time for one router. The hashMapping is tried first.

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. If no strategy is provided, routers default to a strategy of “always escalate”. 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.

    Routers with dynamically resizable number of routees return the akka.routing.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.
