The current logging could be cleaner than it currently is. For example:

• The stdout log is polluted with lots of stack traces that really should only go into the file log. The stdout log should only contain a 1-liner to indicate that there was an error.

• akka shouldn't log this kind of stuff - we should probably add a suitable config file for it:

2011-02-04 18:14:03,180 WARN  
Can't load 'akka.conf'.
One of the three ways of locating the 'akka.conf' file needs to be defined:
    1. Define the '-Dakka.config=...' system property option.
    2. Put the 'akka.conf' file on the classpath.
    3. Define 'AKKA_HOME' environment variable pointing to the root of the Akka distribution.
I have no way of finding the 'akka.conf' configuration file.

• This kind of log entry is fairly meaningless - it should probably reference a class, but in the tersest way possible:

2011-02-04 18:16:45,166 INFO  Stopped actor for key: pair1
2011-02-04 18:16:45,370 INFO  Started actor for key: pair1

• On a case by case basis, this kind of thing really needs to get rooted out - the error message is pretty much useless so the actual log statement needs to get cleaned up:

2011-02-04 18:16:45,577 ERROR 500
2011-02-04 18:16:45,618 ERROR 500
