Akka control threadpool threads

Question

Potentially a very silly question--

Is it possible to customize Akka/Scala actors such that you control the threads that are used by the actors? e.g. can you initial

Answer 1

I tried to understand it myself, but seams that guys in Akka don't want thread management to be exposed to public.

ThreadPoolConfig - the class that is responsible for creation of ExecutorService instances is a case class with method createExecutorService() declared final!

  final def createExecutorService(threadFactory: ThreadFactory): ExecutorService = {
    flowHandler match {
      case Left(rejectHandler) ⇒
        val service = new ThreadPoolExecutor(...)
        service
      case Right(bounds) ⇒
        val service = new ThreadPoolExecutor(...)
        new BoundedExecutorDecorator(service, bounds)
    }
  }

So, I don't see an easy ways to provide your own ExecutorService.
