I have a few libraries for doing IO, with large amounts of data, that use akka-http. Now. I have a Flink application, where I need to use those libraries.
How do I use a common actor-system across my flink app? I mean, AFAIU, flink apps will be distributed and the same pipeline could end up creating multiple actor systems on multiple JVMs. Also, the same JVM could be shared between multiple pipelines too, and in that case, having multiple actor systems would mean having a lot of threads. Am I right in assuming that this is a problem? If so, how can I avoid that problem? More specifically, is there a way to share an actor system between the apps on the same JVM? I know Flink has a way to get the same execution context using the Async IO. ( https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-master/dev/stream/operators/asyncio.html#async-io-api ).
