Package org.apache.pekko.actor

Class SupervisorStrategy

java.lang.Object
org.apache.pekko.actor.SupervisorStrategy
Direct Known Subclasses:
AllForOneStrategy, OneForOneStrategy
public abstract class SupervisorStrategy extends Object
A Pekko SupervisorStrategy is the policy to apply for crashing children.

IMPORTANT:

You should not normally need to create new subclasses, instead use the existing pekko.actor.OneForOneStrategy or pekko.actor.AllForOneStrategy, but if you do, please read the docs of the methods below carefully, as incorrect implementations may lead to “blocked” actor systems (i.e. permanently suspended actors).

  • Constructor Details

    • SupervisorStrategy

      public SupervisorStrategy()

  • Method Details

    • resume

      public static SupervisorStrategy.Resume$ resume()
      Java API: Returning this directive resumes message processing for the failed Actor

    • resume

      public static SupervisorStrategy.Directive resume(Logging.LogLevel logLevel)
      Returning this directive resumes message processing for the failed Actor.

      Parameters:
      logLevel - Log level which will be used to log the failure

    • restart

      public static SupervisorStrategy.Restart$ restart()
      Java API: Returning this directive discards the old Actor instance and replaces it with a new, then resumes message processing.

    • restart

      public static SupervisorStrategy.Directive restart(Logging.LogLevel logLevel)
      Returning this directive discards the old Actor instance and replaces it with a new, then resumes message processing.

      Parameters:
      logLevel - Log level which will be used to log the failure

    • stop

      public static SupervisorStrategy.Stop$ stop()
      Java API: Returning this directive stops the Actor

    • stop

      public static SupervisorStrategy.Directive stop(Logging.LogLevel logLevel)
      Returning this directive stops the Actor

      Parameters:
      logLevel - Log level which will be used to log the failure

    • escalate

      public static SupervisorStrategy.Escalate$ escalate()
      Java API: Returning this directive escalates the failure to the supervisor of the supervisor, by rethrowing the cause of the failure, i.e. the supervisor fails with the same exception as the child.

    • defaultDecider

      public static final scala.PartialFunction<Throwable,SupervisorStrategy.Directive> defaultDecider()
      When supervisorStrategy is not specified for an actor this Decider is used by default in the supervisor strategy. The child will be stopped when pekko.actor.ActorInitializationException, pekko.actor.ActorKilledException, or pekko.actor.DeathPactException is thrown. It will be restarted for other Exception types. The error is escalated if it's a Throwable, i.e. Error.

    • defaultStrategy

      public static final SupervisorStrategy defaultStrategy()
      When supervisorStrategy is not specified for an actor this is used by default. OneForOneStrategy with decider defined in defaultDecider().

    • stoppingStrategy

      public static final SupervisorStrategy stoppingStrategy()
      This strategy resembles Erlang in that failing children are always terminated (one-for-one).

    • seqThrowable2Decider

      public static scala.PartialFunction<Throwable,SupervisorStrategy.Directive> seqThrowable2Decider(scala.collection.immutable.Seq<Class<? extends Throwable>> trapExit)
      Implicit conversion from Seq of Throwables to a Decider. This maps the given Throwables to restarts, otherwise escalates.

    • makeDecider

      public static scala.PartialFunction<Throwable,SupervisorStrategy.Directive> makeDecider(scala.collection.immutable.Seq<Class<? extends Throwable>> trapExit)
      Decider builder which just checks whether one of the given Throwables matches the cause and restarts, otherwise escalates.

    • makeDecider

      public static scala.PartialFunction<Throwable,SupervisorStrategy.Directive> makeDecider(Iterable<Class<? extends Throwable>> trapExit)
      Decider builder which just checks whether one of the given Throwables matches the cause and restarts, otherwise escalates.

    • makeDecider

      public static scala.PartialFunction<Throwable,SupervisorStrategy.Directive> makeDecider(scala.collection.Iterable<scala.Tuple2<Class<? extends Throwable>,SupervisorStrategy.Directive>> flat)
      Decider builder for Iterables of cause-directive pairs, e.g. a map obtained from configuration; will sort the pairs so that the most specific type is checked before all its subtypes, allowing carving out subtrees of the Throwable hierarchy.

    • makeDecider

      public static scala.PartialFunction<Throwable,SupervisorStrategy.Directive> makeDecider(Function<Throwable,SupervisorStrategy.Directive> func)
      Converts a Java Decider into a Scala Decider

    • seqCauseDirective2Decider

      public static scala.PartialFunction<Throwable,SupervisorStrategy.Directive> seqCauseDirective2Decider(scala.collection.Iterable<scala.Tuple2<Class<? extends Throwable>,SupervisorStrategy.Directive>> trapExit)

    • decider

      public abstract scala.PartialFunction<Throwable,SupervisorStrategy.Directive> decider()
      Returns the Decider that is associated with this SupervisorStrategy. The Decider is invoked by the default implementation of handleFailure to obtain the Directive to be applied.

    • handleChildTerminated

      public abstract void handleChildTerminated(ActorContext context, ActorRef child, scala.collection.Iterable<ActorRef> children)
      This method is called after the child has been removed from the set of children. It does not need to do anything special. Exceptions thrown from this method do NOT make the actor fail if this happens during termination.

    • processFailure

      public abstract void processFailure(ActorContext context, boolean restart, ActorRef child, Throwable cause, ChildRestartStats stats, scala.collection.Iterable<ChildRestartStats> children)
      This method is called to act on the failure of a child: restart if the flag is true, stop otherwise.

    • handleFailure

      public boolean handleFailure(ActorContext context, ActorRef child, Throwable cause, ChildRestartStats stats, scala.collection.Iterable<ChildRestartStats> children)
      This is the main entry point: in case of a child&rsquo;s failure, this method must try to handle the failure by resuming, restarting or stopping the child (and returning true), or it returns false to escalate the failure, which will lead to this actor re-throwing the exception which caused the failure. The exception will not be wrapped.

      This method calls pekko.actor.SupervisorStrategy#logFailure, which will log the failure unless it is escalated. You can customize the logging by setting pekko.actor.SupervisorStrategy#loggingEnabled to false and do the logging inside the decider or override the logFailure method.

      Parameters:
      children - is a lazy collection (a view)

    • loggingEnabled

      protected boolean loggingEnabled()
      Logging of actor failures is done when this is true.

    • logFailure

      public void logFailure(ActorContext context, ActorRef child, Throwable cause, SupervisorStrategy.Directive decision)
      Default logging of actor failures when pekko.actor.SupervisorStrategy#loggingEnabled is true. Escalate failures are not logged here, since they are supposed to be handled at a level higher up in the hierarchy. Resume failures are logged at Warning level. Stop and Restart failures are logged at Error level.

    • resumeChild

      public final void resumeChild(ActorRef child, Throwable cause)
      Resume the previously failed child: do never apply this to a child which is not the currently failing child. Suspend/resume needs to be done in matching pairs, otherwise actors will wake up too soon or never at all.

    • restartChild

      public final void restartChild(ActorRef child, Throwable cause, boolean suspendFirst)
      Restart the given child, possibly suspending it first.

      IMPORTANT:

      If the child is the currently failing one, it will already have been suspended, hence suspendFirst must be false. If the child is not the currently failing one, then it did not request this treatment and is therefore not prepared to be resumed without prior suspend.
