我花了一些时间来尝试,发现在Akka中可以使用
Observable
。实际上,由于我们可以把
Observable
看作是
Future
的多变量扩展,因此您可以遵循与组合Actor和Futures相同的指南。在正式文档和教科书(例如
Akka Concurrency,Wyatt 2013)中都支持/鼓励使用Akka中的
Future
,但有很多注意事项。
首先是正面的方面:
Observable
像Future
一样是不可变的,因此理论上传递消息应该是安全的。
Observable
允许您指定执行上下文,非常类似于Future
。这是使用Observable.observeOn(scheduler)
完成的。您可以通过将Akka分派程序(例如system.dispatcher
或context.dispatcher
)传递给rx.lang.scala.ExecutorScheduler
构造函数来从Akka的exec上下文创建调度程序。这应该确保它们同步。
- 与上述内容相关的是,有一个针对即将推出的rx-scala增强版的改进(https://github.com/Netflix/RxJava/issues/815#issuecomment-38793433),可以隐式地指定observable的调度程序。
Future
与ask
模式非常匹配。可以使用类似的模式来处理Observables(请参见本文末尾)。这也解决了向远程observables发送消息的问题。
现在是注意事项:
- 它们具有与Future相同的问题。例如,请参阅页面底部:http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.3.2/general/jmm.html。还可参阅Wyatt 2013年的Futures章节。
- 正如@mavilein的答案中所述,这意味着
Observable.subscribe()
不应使用Actor的包含范围来访问其内部状态。例如,您不应在订阅中调用sender
。相反,请将它存储为一个val,然后像下面的例子一样访问这个val。
- Akka使用的调度程序的分辨率与Rx不同。默认分辨率为100毫秒(Wyatt 2013)。如果有人有过这可能引起的问题的经验,请在下面发表评论!
最后,我已经实现了Observable的“ask”模式等效物。它使用“toObservable”或“??”异步返回Observable,由临时Actor和“PublishSubject”支持。请注意,源发送的消息类型为“rx.lang.scala.Notification”,使用“materialize()”可以满足Observable合同中的“complete”和“error”状态。否则我们无法向汇流处发出这些状态的信号。然而,没有任何阻止您发送任意类型的消息;这些只会调用“onNext()”。Observable具有超时功能,如果在一定时间内未收到消息,则会停止并抛出超时异常。
使用方法如下:
import akka.pattern.RX
implicit val timeout = akka.util.Timeout(10 seconds)
case object Req
val system = ActorSystem("test")
val source = system.actorOf(Props[Source],"thesource")
class Source() extends Actor {
def receive : Receive = {
case Req =>
val s = sender()
Observable.interval(1 second).take(5).materialize.subscribe{s ! _}
}
}
val obs = source ?? Req
obs.observeOn(rx.lang.scala.schedulers.ExecutorScheduler(system.dispatcher)).subscribe((l : Any) => println ("onnext : " + l.toString),
(error : Throwable) => { error.printStackTrace ; system.shutdown() },
() => { println("completed, shutting system down"); system.shutdown() })
并生成以下输出:
onnext : 0
onnext : 1
onnext : 2
onnext : 3
onnext : 4
completed, shutting system down
以下是源代码。这是AskSupport.scala的修改版本。

在这里,我想增加一些更简单的代码来实现??
运算符。这与上文略有不同,因为它不支持网络数据,并且返回Observable [Observable[A]]
,这使得同步响应更加容易。优点是它不会干扰Akka内部:
object TypedAskSupport {
import scala.concurrent.Future
import akka.actor.{ActorRef,ActorSelection}
import scala.reflect.ClassTag
implicit class TypedAskableActorRef(actor : ActorRef) {
val converted : akka.pattern.AskableActorRef = actor
def ?[R](topic : Subscribe[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout) : Future[Observable[R]] =
converted.ask(topic).mapTo[Observable[R]]
def ??[R](topic : Subscribe[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout, execCtx : scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext) : Observable[Observable[R]] =
Observable.from (this.?[R](topic)(timeout))
def ?[R](topic : Request[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout) : Future[R] =
converted.ask(topic).asInstanceOf[Future[R]]
def ??[R](topic : Request[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout, execCtx : scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext) : Observable[R] =
Observable.from { this.?[R](topic)(timeout) }
}
implicit class TypedAskableActorSelection(actor : ActorSelection) {
val converted : akka.pattern.AskableActorSelection = actor
def ?[R](topic : Subscribe[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout) : Future[Observable[R]] =
converted.ask(topic).mapTo[Observable[R]]
def ??[R](topic : Subscribe[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout, execCtx : scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext) : Observable[Observable[R]] =
Observable.from (this.?[R](topic)(timeout))
def ?[R](topic : Request[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout) : Future[R] =
converted.ask(topic).asInstanceOf[Future[R]]
}
}
receive
中使用它。这是否允许您在演员内部使用 Observable(即使无法将其作为消息传递)? - Luciano
