Interface IWithStash

The IWithStash interface enables an actor to temporarily stash away messages that can not or should not be handled using the actor's current behavior.

Note that the IWithStash interface can only be used together with actors that have a deque-based mailbox. By default Stash based actors request a Deque based mailbox since the stash interface extends IRequiresMessageQueue<T>.

You can override the default mailbox provided when IDequeBasedMessageQueueSemantics are requested via config:

akka.actor.mailbox.requirements {
    "Akka.Dispatch.IBoundedDequeBasedMessageQueueSemantics" = your-custom-mailbox
}

Alternatively, you can add your own requirement marker to the actor and configure a mailbox type to be used for your marker.

For a Stash that also enforces unboundedness of the deque see IWithUnboundedStash. For a Stash that does not enforce any mailbox type see IWithUnrestrictedStash.
