That failure describes only the waiting side. The target actor is not interrupted, and any work it already started — a long computation, a blocking call, a downstream reque
When using Akka’s ask pattern, a Future is returned that completes with a Failure if the actor does not reply within the specified timeout. However, if the actor sends a reply after the timeout has elapsed, the Future is already failed and the reply is not observed by the caller. The documentation notes that such late replies are “dropped,” but it does not e
