scala - Scala Actor 和环境引用

Question

在Phillip Haller's PhD thesis中，他在(5.1 future 工作)部分中提到，研究的有趣 Realm 之一是使用环境引用来扩展框架，并引用了Van Cutsen的论文。

摘抄:

The Scala Actors library includes a runtime system that provides basic support for remote (i.e., inter-VM) actor communication. To provide support for fault tolerancy (for instance, in mobile ad-hoc networks), it would be interesting to extend the framework with remote actor references that support volatile connections, similar to ambient references [36]. Integrating transactional abstractions for fault-tolerant distributed programming (e.g., [52, 142]) into Scala Actors is another interesting area for future work.

这是阿卡(Akka)做的吗？如果没有，您认为鉴于Akka的存在，对这一 Realm 进行研究仍然有意义吗？

Answer 1

是的，Akka可以做到这一点。

据我所知，有两种方法可以实现此目的:

akka-remote-提供远程actor ref，但是您需要确定每个actor应该存在的位置。

akka-cluster-提供集群分片。自动管理角色的物理位置，并确保给定的碎片(角色)出现在群集中最多一个节点的上。
