I am trying to use a custom executor for a dispatcher in Akka.
Specifically, I want to wrap an existing executor with my own (logging, debugging, etc.).
I've looked at relevant parts of documentation:
The default dispatcher can be configured, and is by default a Dispatcher with a “fork-join-executor”, which gives excellent performance in most cases.
and
specify using “executor” using “fork-join-executor”, “thread-pool-executor” or the FQCN of an akka.dispatcher.ExecutorServiceConfigurator
(I don't understand what FQCN is.)
How do I do this?
FQCN == Fully Qualified Class Name i.e. package name(s) + class name, ex:
java.lang.String <- FQCN for String
Here's an example of an ExecutorServiceConfigurator for the built in ThreadPoolExecutor:
class ThreadPoolExecutorConfigurator(config: Config, prerequisites: DispatcherPrerequisites) extends ExecutorServiceConfigurator(config, prerequisites) {
val threadPoolConfig: ThreadPoolConfig = createThreadPoolConfigBuilder(config, prerequisites).config
protected def createThreadPoolConfigBuilder(config: Config, prerequisites: DispatcherPrerequisites): ThreadPoolConfigBuilder = {
import akka.util.Helpers.ConfigOps
ThreadPoolConfigBuilder(ThreadPoolConfig())
.setKeepAliveTime(config.getMillisDuration("keep-alive-time"))
.setAllowCoreThreadTimeout(config getBoolean "allow-core-timeout")
.setCorePoolSizeFromFactor(config getInt "core-pool-size-min", config getDouble "core-pool-size-factor", config getInt "core-pool-size-max")
.setMaxPoolSizeFromFactor(config getInt "max-pool-size-min", config getDouble "max-pool-size-factor", config getInt "max-pool-size-max")
.configure(
Some(config getInt "task-queue-size") flatMap {
case size if size > 0 ⇒
Some(config getString "task-queue-type") map {
case "array" ⇒ ThreadPoolConfig.arrayBlockingQueue(size, false) //TODO config fairness?
case "" | "linked" ⇒ ThreadPoolConfig.linkedBlockingQueue(size)
case x ⇒ throw new IllegalArgumentException("[%s] is not a valid task-queue-type [array|linked]!" format x)
} map { qf ⇒ (q: ThreadPoolConfigBuilder) ⇒ q.setQueueFactory(qf) }
case _ ⇒ None
})
}
def createExecutorServiceFactory(id: String, threadFactory: ThreadFactory): ExecutorServiceFactory =
threadPoolConfig.createExecutorServiceFactory(id, threadFactory)
}
