当程序的要求达到一台计算机的极限时,我们便需要将程序分布式化,让程序运行在多台计算机上。akka提供了remote actor用来构建分布式应用。
一、remote actor
1.Actor path
actor的路径设计采用了类似URL的形式,即scheme://domain:port/path。scheme代表协议(http或者ftp),domain代表域名或者ip地址,port代表端口,path代表路径。所以表示一个actor的路径是akka://ServerSys@10.102.141.77:2552/user/SomeActor。路径表示远程actor的主机ip是10.102.141.77,端口是2552,actorsystem是ServerSys,Actor的名字是SomeActor。通过Actor path,我们就可以远程访问一个actor,进而进行消息的传递。
2.Actor引用
当知道远程actor的url后,我们便可以远程访问一个actor。访问通过引用远程actor来实现。
val actor = context.actorFor("akka://actorSystemName@10.0.0.1:2552/user/actorName")
一旦得到了actor的引用,你就可以象与本地actor通讯一样与它进行通迅了
actor ! "Pretty awesome feature"
二、一个简单例子
有一个本地actor:LocalActor,一个远程actor:RemoteActor。我们要实现相互之间的通信。LocalActor向RemoteActor发送一个消息"Hi there",RemoteActor返回"Hi there got something"。
1.remote端。
remote端的目录结构如下
包含四个文件:application.conf,build.sbt,RemoteNodeApplication.scala,RemoteActor.scala
application.conf:

RemoteSys {
akka {
actor {
provider = "akka.remote.RemoteActorRefProvider"
}
remote {
transport = "akka.remote.netty.NettyRemoteTransport"
netty {
hostname = "192.168.178.192"
port = 2552
}
}
}
}

build.sbt

name := "RemotingExampleRemoteNode" version := "1.0" scalaVersion := "2.9.1" resolvers += "Typesafe Repository" at "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases/" libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"com.typesafe.akka" % "akka-actor" % "2.0.2",
"com.typesafe.akka" % "akka-remote" % "2.0.2",
"com.typesafe.akka" % "akka-kernel" % "2.0.2"
)

RemoteActor.scala

package org.akka.essentials.remotenode
import akka.actor.Actor class RemoteActor extends Actor {
def receive: Receive = {
case message: String =>
// Get reference to the message sender and reply back
sender.tell(message + " 192.168.178.192 got something")
}
}

RemoteNodeApplication.scala

package org.akka.essentials.remotenode
import akka.kernel.Bootable
import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import akka.actor.Props
import com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory object RemoteActorSystem{
def main(args: Array[String]):Unit = {
val system = ActorSystem("RemoteNodeApp", ConfigFactory.load().getConfig("RemoteSys"))
val remoteActor = system.actorOf(Props[RemoteActor], name = "remoteActor")
}
}

sbt package进行编译,然后sbt run运行程序。
Remote端如果要以独立微内核的形式使用,RemoteNodeApplication.scala如下
RemoteNodeApplication.scala

package org.akka.essentials.remotenode
import akka.kernel.Bootable
import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import akka.actor.Props
import com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory class RemoteNodeApplication extends Bootable {
val system = ActorSystem("RemoteNodeApp", ConfigFactory
.load().getConfig("RemoteSys")) def startup = {
system.actorOf(Props[RemoteActor], name = "remoteActor")
} def shutdown = {
system.shutdown()
}
}

微内核的使用参考参考文献4.
2.Local端程序
目录结构同Remote端。也是包含四个文件:application.conf,build.sbt,LocalActor.scala,LocalNodeApplication.scala。
application.conf

LocalSys {
akka {
actor {
provider = "akka.remote.RemoteActorRefProvider"
}
}
}

build.sbt

name := "RemotingExampleLocalNode" version := "1.0" scalaVersion := "2.9.1" resolvers += "Typesafe Repository" at "http://repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/releases/" libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
"com.typesafe.akka" % "akka-actor" % "2.0.2",
"com.typesafe.akka" % "akka-remote" % "2.0.2",
"com.typesafe.akka" % "akka-kernel" % "2.0.2"
)

LocalActor.scala

package org.akka.essentials.localnode
import akka.actor.Actor
import akka.actor.ActorLogging
import akka.actor.Address
import akka.actor.Deploy
import akka.actor.Props
import akka.dispatch.Await
import akka.pattern.ask
import akka.remote.RemoteScope
import akka.util.duration.intToDurationInt
import akka.util.Timeout class LocalActor extends Actor with ActorLogging { //Get a reference to the remote actor
val remoteActor = context.actorFor("akka://RemoteNodeApp@192.168.178.192:2552/user/remoteActor")
implicit val timeout = Timeout(5 seconds)
def receive: Receive = {
case message: String =>
val future = (remoteActor ? message).mapTo[String]
val result = Await.result(future, timeout.duration)
log.info("Message received from Server -> {}", result)
}
}

LocalNodeApplication.scala

package org.akka.essentials.localnode
import com.typesafe.config.ConfigFactory
import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import akka.actor.Props object LocalNodeApplication { def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
// load the configuration
val config = ConfigFactory.load().getConfig("LocalSys")
val system = ActorSystem("LocalNodeApp", config)
val clientActor = system.actorOf(Props[LocalActor])
clientActor ! "Hello"
Thread.sleep(4000)
system.shutdown()
}
}

运行结果如下(拖动图片或者另存为可以看大图)
