Enum ActorRunner

pub enum ActorRunner {
    GlobalRuntime,
    DedicatedThread,
}

The ActorRunner defines the environment in which an actor should be executed.

While all actor’s handlers have a asynchronous trait, some actor can be implemented to do some heavy blocking work and no rely on any asynchronous contructs.

In that case, they should simply rely on the DedicatedThread runner.

Variants

GlobalRuntime

Returns the actor as a tokio task running on the global runtime.

This is the most lightweight solution. Actor running on this runtime should not block for more than 50 microsecs.

DedicatedThread

Spawns a dedicated thread, a Tokio runtime, and rely on tokio::Runtime::block_on to run the actor loop.

This runner is suitable for actors that are heavily blocking.
