I have the following hierachy in my actor system
Master actor
if (msg instanceof doMajortTask) {
ActorRef slave = this.getContext().actorOf(Props.create(slave.class));
slave.tell(new doSubTask(), getSelf());
//tell parent job is complete
}
if (msg instanceof differentMessage) {
// do something else
}
Slave Actor
if (msg instanceof doSubTask) {
getSender().tell(new differentMessage(), getSelf());
}
}
Master Actor is created per request, for first request this hierarchy works properly, for second request the 'differentMessage remains undelivered"
Note that there are many message exchanges btween these two actors. But I havent added them because they have nothing different. Can the number of messages be an issue?
Does the master actor die based on what? Does too many context switching netween actors lead to this?
