I am yet to use list_named_actors() but I think it is not as rich as ray.state.actors():
- For list_named_actotrs() to work user actors should be named
- It does not provide IP address of workers running actors
- It does not provide state information
- It does not provide metadata about actors which are detached (same is the case with ray.state.actors())
We need metadata to evict ray nodes in a running fixed-size Kubernetes cluster. We want to evict ray nodes that run tasks only if possible.
We have been discussing it here: Autoscaler node termination behavior when scaled down with helm - #5 by Dmitri
