Monitoring for Futures

[vatel]

Hello!
Many applications use Futures intensively - do you have plans to implement their monitoring?

P.S. I have posted a question and some thoughts about it to the blog: http://www.cakesolutions.net/teamblogs/2013/11/01/monitoring-akka/

I would like to include code that monitors the Dispatchers in the first instance. That will give you the insight into how your actor system is consuming the available threads. And it will be especially useful when you have blocking calls, and you’ve created multiple Dispatchers to isolate the blocking calls. I think this is the only way to deal with monitoring Futures: I would like to be able to see the execution time & timeouts.

The transforms map, flatMap and others I think fall into a general code monitoring category. Your best bet to track the performance of these is to use some JDK profiler at development. It would be really difficult to display the data in a meaningful way to the operations team.
