Akka 2.0 provides an efficient actor model (http://blog.typesafe.com/introducing-akka-20-2756). In the other hand we heavily use JAVA thread in RoQ to maintain the connection between the pub/sub and the queue in to order to keep inform of any topological changes or even re-allocations.

This study will analyse whether it could be more efficient and more clean from a code view point to replace our thread by an actor model. In addition this study will cover the potential impact on the current client API.
