Distributed Registry
Cluster-wide actor discovery and location-transparent messaging.
Overview
The distributed registry allows actors to be discovered across the cluster without knowing which node they're running on. It provides:
- Location Transparency — Send to actors by name, not address
- Automatic Discovery — Registry synced via gossip protocol
- Failure Handling — Down nodes' actors automatically removed
