Questions about cluster and k8s discovery

[civilizeddev]

I am going through the codebase to understand goakt. However, I wanted to ask these questions first. Thank you.

The k8s discovery provider has options for the following three parameters:

goakt/discovery/kubernetes/discovery.go

Lines 46 to 48 in 001a00c

	Namespace string = "namespace" // Namespace specifies the kubernetes namespace
	ActorSystemName = "actor_system_name" // ActorSystemName specifies the actor system name
	ApplicationName = "app_name" // ApplicationName specifies the application name. This often matches the actor system name

Multiple applications in 1 actor system

What I'm curious about is whether it's feasible for different types of applications, each with their own distinct characteristics, to share a single actor system.

I want to confirm if I'm misunderstanding the concept.

In other words, is it possible for different applications A, B, and C to share the same actor system X?

If so, is it possible for application A to communicate with applications B and C?

Rebalancing

When the cluster's member nodes change and rebalancing occurs, does rebalancing happen only among the same applications?

@Tochemey I need your help.

Going forward, I will try creating a repro repo to communicate with you and get your help.

@civilizeddev An actor system is for a single application. Applications cannot share actor system.

[civilizeddev]

Ah, I see. So, each application has its own actor system. Understood. Thank you.

@civilizeddev You can always reach me through discussions or issues. I am glad I helped.
