《Akka Essentials》是一本实用且循序渐进的学习指南，专为想要掌握Akka——一种基于演员（Actor）模型的分布式、并发和可扩展的Java应用程序开发工具而设计。本书由 Munish K. Gupta 撰写，由 Packt Publishing 出版，版权归属2012年。作者通过本书引导读者深入了解Akka的核心概念，并通过一系列实战步骤教授如何构建高效且可伸缩的系统。 Akka的本质在于其强大的并发处理能力，它将传统的线程模型转变为轻量级的、独立运行的实体——演员。每个演员都有自己的生命周期、行为以及与其他演员的通信机制，使得在分布式环境中，任务的并行执行和消息传递变得简单且易于管理。Akka的设计思想强调了事件驱动和无共享状态，这有助于减少同步开销，提高系统的容错性和性能。书中内容覆盖了以下关键知识点： 1. **Actor模型基础**：介绍了什么是Actor，以及它如何在并发和分布式环境中工作，包括创建、发送消息、接收消息以及响应等基本操作。 2. **Akka Actor API**：深入剖析Akka的Actor API，如Actor类、ActorRef、Props和Mailbox等核心组件的使用。 3. **系统架构**：讲解如何构建和组织Akka应用，包括创建Actor系统、路由策略、监视和调试工具等。 4. **消息传递**：探讨Akka的Actor之间的通信机制，如发布/订阅模式、管道、选择器和路由器等高级功能。 5. **调度和容错**：理解Akka的调度策略，以及如何处理失败和恢复，确保系统的健壮性。 6. **高级主题**：涉及Akka流（Akka Streams）、Actor Selection、Cluster和Persistence等更高级特性的使用，以及它们如何提升应用的复杂度处理能力。 7. **实战项目**：书中提供了多个实际项目案例，让读者在实践中巩固所学，学会如何将Akka应用于实际业务场景。 8. **最佳实践和性能优化**：提供关于性能调优、资源管理和错误处理等方面的建议，帮助读者避免常见陷阱。《Akka Essentials》不仅适合已有Java基础的开发者，也适合希望转型到微服务架构或分布式计算的工程师，它是一本既理论深入又实用的Akka入门指南。通过阅读这本书，读者可以了解到Akka如何在现代IT环境中扮演关键角色，推动应用程序的高可用性、可扩展性和并行计算能力。

Preface

Akka Essentials is meant as a guide for architects, solution providers, consultants,

engineers, and anyone planning to design and implement a distributed, concurrent

application based on Akka. It will refer to easy-to-explain concept examples, as

they are likely to be the best teaching aids. It will explain the logic, code, and

congurations needed to build a successful, distributed, concurrent application, as

well as the reason behind those decisions.

This book covers the core concepts to design and create a distributed, concurrent

application, but it is not meant to be a replacement for the ofcial documentation

guide for Akka published at Typesafe.

The driving force of Akka's Actor Model

The existing, Java-based concurrency model does not lend well to the underlying,

hardware multiprocessor model. This leads to the Java application not being able

to scale up and scale out, to handle the demands of a distributed, scalable,

concurrent application.

The Akka framework has taken the "Actor Model" concept to build an

event-driven, middleware framework that allows the building of concurrent,

scalable, and distributed systems. Akka uses the Actor Model to raise the

abstraction level that decouples the business logic from the low-level

constructs of threads, locks, and non-blocking I/O.

The Akka framework provides the following features:

• Concurrency: The Akka Actor Model abstracts concurrency handling and

allows the programmer to focus on the business logic

• Scalability: The Akka Actor Model's asynchronous message passing allows

applications to scale up on multicore servers

Preface

[ 2 ]

• Fault tolerance: Akka borrows the concepts and techniques from Erlang to

build the "Let It Crash", fault tolerance model

• Event-driven architecture: Akka provides an asynchronous messaging

platform for building event-driven architectures

• Transaction support: Akka implements transactors that combine the actors

and software transactional memory (STM) into transactional actors

• Location transparency: Akka provides a unied programming model for

multicore and distributed computing needs

• Scala/Java APIs: Akka supports both Java and Scala APIs for

building applications

The Akka framework is envisioned as a toolkit and runtime for building highly

concurrent, distributed, and fault-tolerant, event-driven applications on the JVM.

What this book covers

Chapter 1, Introduction to Akka, covers the background on the evolution of the

microprocessor, the current problems met in the building of concurrent applications,

and the Actor Model. We will then jump into what Akka provides, and the high-level

features of the Akka framework.

Chapter 2, Starting with Akka, covers the motions of the installation of the

development environment and the writing of the rst Akka application.

Chapter 3, Actors, covers the overview of the actors. The chapter covers the lifecycle of

an actor, how to create actors, how to pass and process messages, and how to stop or

kill the actor.

Chapter 4, Typed Actors, covers the overview of the typed actors. It also covers the

lifecycle of a typed actor, how to create actors, how to pass and process messages,

and how to stop or kill the actor.

Chapter 5, Dispatchers and Routers, covers dispatchers and their workings. The chapter

covers the various types of dispatchers and their usage and conguration settings,

and the different types of mailboxes and their usage and conguration. This chapter

also covers routers, and their different types and usage.

Chapter 6, Supervision and Monitoring, covers fault tolerance, the lifecycle, supervision

strategies, and linking strategies when writing large-scale, concurrent programs.

The chapter covers the "Let It Crash" paradigm, and how it is managed in the Actor

Model using the various supervision strategies.
