Hi all,
I'm writing a c10k-style service, i.e. suppose 10,000 concurrent connections, mostly IO-bound. Clojure agents with `send-off` are fantastically close to what I want conceptually, but I'm curious about the implementation details--can anyone confirm, this would end up forking 10,000 threads, which would presumably kill the system under context-switching load? >From what I understand, Erlang/Go have lightweight "actor" processes which are not true threads and are designed to have 10,000 of them spawned at once handling async-IO without problem. I'd prefer to stick with Clojure if possible but need to be able to handle the connection/IO-load. Anyone know how this works and/or has tried this in a production system? Any thoughts appreciated.
