我花了一些时间进行实验，发现可以Observable在 Akka 中使用 s。事实上，既然Observable可以将Future. 实际上，官方文档和教科书（例如Akka Concurrency ，Wyatt 2013）都支持/鼓励使用Futurein Akka ，但有很多警告。
首先是积极的：
Observables, like Futures 是不可变的，所以理论上它们在消息中传递是安全的。Observable允许您指定执行上下文，非常类似于Future. 这是使用Observable.observeOn(scheduler). 您可以通过将 Akka 调度程序（例如system.dispatcheror context.dispatcher）传递给rx.lang.scala.ExecutorScheduler构造函数来从 Akka 的 exec 上下文创建调度程序。这应该确保它们是同步的。- 与上述相关的是，工作中的 rx-scala 有一个增强功能（https://github.com/Netflix/RxJava/issues/815#issuecomment-38793433），这将允许隐式指定可观察的调度程序。
- Future 非常适合 Akka 的
ask模式。类似的模式可以用于 Observables（见本文底部）。这也解决了向远程 observables 发送消息的问题。
现在警告：
- 他们与未来有同样的问题。例如，请参见页面底部： http: //doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.3.2/general/jmm.html。还有 Wyatt 2013 中关于期货的章节。
- 正如@mavilein 的回答一样，这意味着
Observable.subscribe()不应使用 Actor 的封闭范围来访问它的内部状态。例如，您不应该调用sender订阅。相反，将其存储到 val 中，然后访问此 val，如下例所示。
- Akka 使用的调度器的分辨率与 Rx 不同。它的默认分辨率为 100 毫秒（Wyatt 2013）。如果有人遇到过这可能导致的问题，请在下面发表评论！
最后，我实现了askObservables 的等价模式。它使用toObservableor??异步返回 Observable，由临时演员和PublishSubject幕后支持。请注意，源发送的消息是rx.lang.scala.Notificationusing类型materialize()，因此它们满足可观察合约中的完整和错误状态。否则我们无法将这些状态发送给接收器。但是，没有什么可以阻止您发送任意类型的消息；这些只会调用onNext(). 如果在某个时间间隔内未收到消息，则 observable 有一个超时，该超时会因超时异常而停止。
它是这样使用的：
import akka.pattern.RX
implicit val timeout = akka.util.Timeout(10 seconds)
case object Req
val system = ActorSystem("test")
val source = system.actorOf(Props[Source],"thesource")
class Source() extends Actor {
def receive : Receive = {
case Req =>
val s = sender()
Observable.interval(1 second).take(5).materialize.subscribe{s ! _}
}
}
val obs = source ?? Req
obs.observeOn(rx.lang.scala.schedulers.ExecutorScheduler(system.dispatcher)).subscribe((l : Any) => println ("onnext : " + l.toString),
(error : Throwable) => { error.printStackTrace ; system.shutdown() },
() => { println("completed, shutting system down"); system.shutdown() })
并产生这个输出：
onnext : 0
onnext : 1
onnext : 2
onnext : 3
onnext : 4
completed, shutting system down
来源如下。它是 AskSupport.scala 的修改版本。

以为我会在这里添加一些更简单的代码来实现??运算符。这与上面的略有不同，因为 a) 它不支持网络数据和 b) 它返回Observable[Observable[A]]，这使得同步响应更容易。优点是它不会弄乱 Akka 内脏：
object TypedAskSupport {
import scala.concurrent.Future
import akka.actor.{ActorRef,ActorSelection}
import scala.reflect.ClassTag
implicit class TypedAskableActorRef(actor : ActorRef) {
val converted : akka.pattern.AskableActorRef = actor
def ?[R](topic : Subscribe[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout) : Future[Observable[R]] =
converted.ask(topic).mapTo[Observable[R]]
def ??[R](topic : Subscribe[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout, execCtx : scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext) : Observable[Observable[R]] =
Observable.from (this.?[R](topic)(timeout))
def ?[R](topic : Request[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout) : Future[R] =
converted.ask(topic).asInstanceOf[Future[R]]
def ??[R](topic : Request[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout, execCtx : scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext) : Observable[R] =
Observable.from { this.?[R](topic)(timeout) }
}
implicit class TypedAskableActorSelection(actor : ActorSelection) {
val converted : akka.pattern.AskableActorSelection = actor
def ?[R](topic : Subscribe[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout) : Future[Observable[R]] =
converted.ask(topic).mapTo[Observable[R]]
def ??[R](topic : Subscribe[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout, execCtx : scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext) : Observable[Observable[R]] =
Observable.from (this.?[R](topic)(timeout))
def ?[R](topic : Request[R])(implicit timeout : akka.util.Timeout) : Future[R] =
converted.ask(topic).asInstanceOf[Future[R]]
}
