Class RandomPool

java.lang.Object
  akka.routing.RandomPool

All Implemented Interfaces:

Pool, PoolOverrideUnsetConfig<RandomPool>, RouterConfig, java.io.Serializable, scala.Equals, scala.Product

public final class RandomPool
extends java.lang.Object
implements Pool, PoolOverrideUnsetConfig<RandomPool>, scala.Product, scala.Serializable

A router pool that randomly selects one of the target routees to send a message to.

The configuration parameter trumps the constructor arguments. This means that if you provide nrOfInstances 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: nrOfInstances initial number of routees in the pool

param: resizer optional resizer that dynamically adjust the pool size

param: supervisorStrategy strategy for supervising the routees, see 'Supervision Setup'

param: routerDispatcher dispatcher to use for the router head actor, which handles supervision, death watch and router management messages

boolean	usePoolDispatcher() Use a dedicated dispatcher for the routees of the pool.
RandomPool	withDispatcher(java.lang.String dispatcherId) Setting the dispatcher to be used for the router head actor, which handles supervision, death watch and router management messages.
RouterConfig	withFallback(RouterConfig other) Uses the resizer and/or the supervisor strategy of the given Routerconfig if this RouterConfig doesn't have one, i.e.

RandomPool

public RandomPool(com.typesafe.config.Config config)

Method Detail

nrOfInstances

public int nrOfInstances()

Description copied from interface: Pool

Initial number of routee instances

Specified by:

nrOfInstances in interface Pool

Returns:

(undocumented)

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:

resizer in interface Pool

Returns:

(undocumented)

supervisorStrategy

public SupervisorStrategy supervisorStrategy()

Description copied from interface: Pool

SupervisorStrategy for the head actor, i.e. for supervising the routees of the pool.

Specified by:

supervisorStrategy in interface Pool

Returns:

(undocumented)

routerDispatcher

public java.lang.String routerDispatcher()

Description copied from interface: RouterConfig

Dispatcher ID to use for running the &ldquo;head&rdquo; actor, which handles supervision, death watch and router management messages

Specified by:

routerDispatcher in interface RouterConfig

Returns:

(undocumented)

usePoolDispatcher

public boolean usePoolDispatcher()

Description copied from interface: Pool

Use a dedicated dispatcher for the routees of the pool. The dispatcher is defined in 'pool-dispatcher' configuration property in the deployment section of the router.

Specified by:

usePoolDispatcher in interface Pool

Returns:

(undocumented)

createRouter

public Router createRouter(ActorSystem system)

Description copied from interface: RouterConfig

Create the actual router, responsible for routing messages to routees.

Specified by:

createRouter in interface RouterConfig

Parameters:

system - the ActorSystem this router belongs to

Returns:

(undocumented)

withSupervisorStrategy

public RandomPool withSupervisorStrategy(SupervisorStrategy strategy)

Setting the supervisor strategy to be used for the &ldquo;head&rdquo; Router actor.

Specified by:

withSupervisorStrategy in interface PoolOverrideUnsetConfig<RandomPool>

Parameters:

strategy - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

withResizer

public RandomPool withResizer(Resizer resizer)

Setting the resizer to be used.

Specified by:

withResizer in interface PoolOverrideUnsetConfig<RandomPool>

Parameters:

resizer - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

withDispatcher

public RandomPool withDispatcher(java.lang.String dispatcherId)

Setting the dispatcher to be used for the router head actor, which handles supervision, death watch and router management messages.

Parameters:

dispatcherId - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)

withFallback

public RouterConfig withFallback(RouterConfig other)

Uses the resizer and/or the supervisor strategy of the given Routerconfig if this RouterConfig doesn't have one, i.e. the resizer defined in code is used if resizer was not defined in config.

Specified by:

withFallback in interface RouterConfig

Parameters:

other - (undocumented)

Returns:

(undocumented)
