c# - Akka.net 动态添加子项

Question

有一个已配置的 ActorSystem参与者按如下方式组织:

/user
  /processes
    /process1
    /process2
    /process3

为了生成这个方案，我使用了下一个 C# 代码:

// in entry point
IActorRef processesCoordinatorActorRef = ActorSystem.ActorOf(Props.Create<ProcessesCoordinatorActor>(), "processes");

// in ProcessesCoordinatorActor.cs:
IActorRef processOneActorRef = Context.ActorOf(Props.Create<ProccessActor>(), "process1");
IActorRef processTwoActorRef = Context.ActorOf(Props.Create<ProccessActor>(), "process2");
IActorRef processThreeActorRef = Context.ActorOf(Props.Create<ProccessActor>(), "process3");

我的问题是我想给 process1 添加一个 child Actor , process2或 process3来自入口点代码(在 ProcessActor 之外)。但现在我的双手被束缚了，因为IActorRef对我隐藏了某些 Actor 实例。

如何解决？

Answer 1

必须在父 actor 的 Context 中创建子 actor。如果您想从外部触发这种情况，只需向父级发送一条消息并让它创建子 actor(例如 CreateChildActor)。没有办法在一个地方创建一个 Actor ，然后将其“收养”为另一个 Actor 的 child 。

通常(并且不知道您实际尝试做什么)，我的直觉是从顶层/入口点代码向下创建 actors 不是您向下的好方向。您应该让层次结构中的父角色完成创建和 supervising children 的工作。 .

如果您不得不从入口点触发此过程，您可以使用 ActorSelection 将您的 CreateChildActor 发送到层次结构中的任何位置和/或将其解析为 IActorRef.

这是一个代码示例，展示了如何执行此操作，并让子进程在准备就绪后通知协调器 (also here as a Fiddle):

using Akka.Actor;

        {
            public ProcessesCoordinatorActor()
            {
                Receive<CreateChildActor>(createRequest =>
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("{0} creating child actor: {1}", Self.Path, createRequest.ChildName);

                    var child = Context.ActorOf(createRequest.ChildProps, createRequest.ChildName);
                    if (createRequest.ActorToNotify != null)
                        createRequest.ActorToNotify.Tell(new ReadyForWork(child));
                });

                Receive<ReadyForWork>(ready =>
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Coordinator sees worker ready: {0}", ready.Worker.Path);
