Interface ActorGroup

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractActorGroup, DefaultActorGroup
public interface ActorGroup extends Closeable

An actor exists in a single permanent actorGroup. A actorGroup is responsible for scheduling work (processing inbound messages) for actors that are assigned to the actorGroup.

While any given actor is permanently tied to a single actorGroup, the actorGroup itself is portable so that it can be "moved" from one Host to another with minimal impact on the running application.

The location and state of a particular actorGroup is managed by the cluster coordinator.

A scheduler is attached to a actorGroup and this scheduler handles the message workload for the actorGroup.
