With a thread pool shared by actors, even yours, if one of the actors fails, that thread is gone until the pool creates a new one (as needed). That's one less available thread until the recreation occurs. To minimize the impact on other a

I agree that using selective receive helps in dealing with messages that arrive out of the order of a specific state transition. Akka gives users the ability to stash messages if they want to. On the JVM, a long-running actor-based applic
