But you have shared state in form of the world state.

@Zetanova
or an other actor-model system
world => actor
can be a singleton service t0o, but better an actor

@b0urb4k1
Ok but i guess you need to throw away determinism then.
Zetanova
@Zetanova
not realy
Nicolas Bourbaki
@b0urb4k1
Lets say you wanted to model something like a board game.
Then you need the sequence of actions of several of the actors.

@Zetanova
then the board can sync the steps or a child of board-actor

@b0urb4k1
Oh!

If I send a RoundRobin router a PoisonPill.Instance i assume they all get the PoisonPill?
Christian Duhard
@cduhard
are there any examples on how to use GracefulStop correctly?
Aaron Stannard
@Aaronontheweb
@cduhard if you PoisonPill the router the router dies
and so do all of its routees
if it's a pool router
Christian Duhard
@cduhard
k it is
Aaron Stannard
@Aaronontheweb
for using GracefulStop
how that works by default is it PoisonPill's the target actor
Christian Duhard
@cduhard
@Aaronontheweb i am mostly not sure what to do with the Tasks if I have numerous children to stop
Aaron Stannard
@Aaronontheweb
and you the Task<bool> returns true if the temporary actor created by the GracefulStop call, kind of like the temporary actors created by Ask, gets a Terminated message
Christian Duhard
@cduhard
say for instance I have
Actor2.GracefulStop(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
Actor3.GracefulStop(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10), new Shutdown());
when all gracefulstop Tasks are complete I need to send a Passivate type message
i guess this is more about my shitty async skills than anythig
Christian Duhard
@cduhard
I assume sending a poisonPill just effects that actor and not it's watched children
Aaron Stannard
@Aaronontheweb
@alexvaluyskiy that's the goal
Christian Duhard
@cduhard
@Aaronontheweb so the bool returned from GracefulStop just tells me if the stop was actually graceful and didn't time out?
