Akka流如何不断实现？

Question

I am using Akka Streams in Scala to poll from an AWS SQS queue using the AWS Java SDK . I created an ActorPublisher which dequeues messages on a two second interval:

class SQSSubscriber(name: String) extends ActorPublisher[Message] {
  implicit val materializer = ActorMaterializer()

  val schedule = context.system.scheduler.schedule(0 seconds, 2 seconds, self, "dequeue")

  val client = new AmazonSQSClient()
  client.setRegion(RegionUtils.getRegion("us-east-1"))
  val url = client.getQueueUrl(name).getQueueUrl

  val MaxBufferSize = 100
  var buf = Vector.empty[Message]

  override def receive: Receive = {
    case "dequeue" =>
      val messages = iterableAsScalaIterable(client.receiveMessage(new ReceiveMessageRequest(url).getMessages).toList
      messages.foreach(self ! _)
    case message: Message if buf.size == MaxBufferSize =>
      log.error("The buffer is full")
    case message: Message =>
      if (buf.isEmpty && totalDemand > 0)
        onNext(message)
      else {
        buf :+= message
        deliverBuf()
      }
    case Request(_) =>
      deliverBuf()
    case Cancel =>
      context.stop(self)
  }

  @tailrec final def deliverBuf(): Unit =
    if (totalDemand > 0) {
      if (totalDemand <= Int.MaxValue) {
        val (use, keep) = buf.splitAt(totalDemand.toInt)
        buf = keep
        use foreach onNext
      } else {
        val (use, keep) = buf.splitAt(Int.MaxValue)
        buf = keep
        use foreach onNext
        deliverBuf()
      }
    }
}

In my application, I am attempting to run the flow at a 2 second interval as well:

val system = ActorSystem("system")
val sqsSource = Source.actorPublisher[Message](SQSSubscriber.props("queue-name"))
val flow = Flow[Message]
  .map { elem => system.log.debug(s"${elem.getBody} (${elem.getMessageId})"); elem }
  .to(Sink.ignore)

system.scheduler.schedule(0 seconds, 2 seconds) {
  flow.runWith(sqsSource)(ActorMaterializer()(system))
}

However, when I run my application I receive java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Futures timed out after [20000 milliseconds] and subsequent dead letter notices which is caused by the ActorMaterializer .

Is there a recommended approach for continually materializing an Akka Stream?

Answer 1

I don't think you need to create a new ActorPublisher every 2 seconds. This seems redundant and wasteful of memory. Also, I don't think an ActorPublisher is necessary. From what I can tell of the code, your implementation will have an ever growing number of Streams all querying the same data. Each Message from the client will be processed by N different akka Streams and, even worse, N will grow over time.

Iterator For Infinite Loop Querying

You can get the same behavior from your ActorPublisher by using scala's Iterator . It is possible to create an Iterator which continuously queries the client:

//setup the client
val client = {
  val sqsClient = new AmazonSQSClient()
  sqsClient setRegion (RegionUtils getRegion "us-east-1")
  sqsClient
}

val url = client.getQueueUrl(name).getQueueUrl

//single query
def queryClientForMessages : Iterable[Message] = iterableAsScalaIterable {
  client receiveMessage (new ReceiveMessageRequest(url).getMessages)
}

def messageListIteartor : Iterator[Iterable[Message]] = 
  Iterator continually messageListStream

//messages one-at-a-time "on demand", no timer pushing you around
def messageIterator() : Iterator[Message] = messageListIterator flatMap identity

This implementation only queries the client when all previous Messages have been consumed and is therefore truly reactive . No need to keep track of a buffer with fixed size. Your solution needs a buffer because the creation of Messages (via a timer) is de-coupled from the consumption of Messages (via println). In my implementation, creation & consumption are tightly coupled via back-pressure.

Akka Stream Source

You can then use this Iterator generator-function to feed an akka stream Source:

def messageSource : Source[Message, _] = Source fromIterator messageIterator

Flow Formation

And finally you can use this Source to perform the println (As a side note: your flow value is actually a Sink since Flow + Sink = Sink ). Using your flow value from the question:

messageSource runWith flow

One akka Stream processing all messages.
