## Why Scala



JVM and Java compatibility 

Functional and OO style: productivity

Actor: flexible scale up/down, maintainable, fault tolerance *

Real time: Scala is built for stream, async processing (lambda, future, promise)



## Why AKKA 



https://www.typesafe.com/community/core-projects/akka

http://blog.confluent.io/2015/01/29/making-sense-of-stream-processing/

http://www.typesafe.com/blog/reactive-streams-webinar-qa



### How to code in Akka stream



http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-stream-and-http-experimental/1.0-M2/scala/stream-cookbook.html



### Async style programming



Scala and AKKA is non-blocking async language. Please familiar yourself with concepts such as Future and Promise



## Actors



Scala and AKKA provides a concurrency mechanism called “Actor”. It would benefit WISE in scalability and  resilience. 



Actor is an isolated resource unit and communicate with each other via messages. It needs a storage persistence to recover from failure or bootstrap. We select cassandra as storage provider. Sample code: https://github.com/krasserm/akka-persistence-cassandra



Find vehicles by spitial query: build index in memory http://jspatial.sourceforge.net/



Actor is built for share nothing. But sometime it has to use share status: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7307217/akka-sharing-mutable-state



Common Actor patterns https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.5.4/scala/howto.html



## HA

## Multi tenant



* Each account will has its own actor system

* Integrating Akka Streams and Actors http://blog.colinbreck.com/integrating-akka-streams-and-akka-actors-part-i/



### Important cencepts



* Graph: Flow (lines in the graph e.g., f1, f2 … ) + source (in) + sink (out) + junctions (bcast and merge)

* Flow:  A linear processing unit composited by stages e.g., f1:  s1=>s2=>s3

* Stage:  The basic processing unit, which can be 

	* pull

    * push

    * pushpull (for most stream processing)

    * stateful (if change internal status)
