Till Rohrmann created FLINK-1508: ------------------------------------ Summary: Remove AkkaUtils.ask to encourage explicit future handling Key: FLINK-1508 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1508 Project: Flink Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Till Rohrmann
{{AkkaUtils.ask}} asks another actor and awaits its response. Since this constitutes a blocking call, it might be potentially harmful when used in an actor thread. In order to encourage developers to program asynchronously I propose to remove this helper function. That forces the developer to handle futures explicitly. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
