Java API for `org.apache.pekko.pattern.ask`: Sends a message asynchronously and returns a java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage holding the eventual reply message; this means that the target pekko.actor.ActorSelection needs to send the result to the sender reference provided.

The CompletionStage will be completed with an pekko.pattern.AskTimeoutException after the given timeout has expired; this is independent from any timeout applied while awaiting a result for this future (i.e. in Await.result(..., timeout)). A typical reason for AskTimeoutException is that the recipient actor didn't send a reply.

Warning: When using future callbacks, inside actors you need to carefully avoid closing over the containing actor’s object, i.e. do not call methods or access mutable state on the enclosing actor from within the callback. This would break the actor encapsulation and may introduce synchronization bugs and race conditions because the callback will be scheduled concurrently to the enclosing actor. Unfortunately there is not yet a way to detect these illegal accesses at compile time.

Recommended usage:

final CompletionStage<Object> f = PatternsCS.ask(selection, request, timeout);
f.thenRun(result -> nextActor.tell(new EnrichedResult(request, result)));

Returns a java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage that will be completed with success (value true) when existing messages of the target actor has been processed and the actor has been terminated.

Useful when you need to wait for termination or compose ordered termination of several actors.

If you want to invoke specialized stopping logic on your target actor instead of PoisonPill, you can pass your stop command as stopMessage parameter

If the target actor isn't terminated within the timeout the java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage is completed with failure pekko.pattern.AskTimeoutException.

If the target actor isn't terminated within the timeout the java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage is completed with failure pekko.pattern.AskTimeoutException.

When this java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage finishes, send its result to the given pekko.actor.ActorRef or pekko.actor.ActorSelection. Returns the original CompletionStage to allow method chaining. If the future was completed with failure it is sent as a pekko.actor.Status.Failure to the recipient.

Recommended usage example:

final CompletionStage<Object> f = PatternsCS.ask(worker, request, timeout);
// apply some transformation (i.e. enrich with request info)
final CompletionStage<Object> transformed = f.thenApply(result -> { ... });
// send it on to the next operator
PatternsCS.pipe(transformed, context).to(nextActor);

Returns an internally retrying java.util.concurrent.CompletionStage The first attempt will be made immediately, and each subsequent attempt will be made after 'delay'. A scheduler (eg context.system.scheduler) must be provided to delay each retry If attempts are exhausted the returned completion operator is simply the result of invoking attempt. Note that the attempt function will be invoked on the given execution context for subsequent tries and therefore must be thread safe (not touch unsafe mutable state).
