Description

With Akka 2.5, Agent is deprecated. Please see http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/scala/project/migration-guide-2.4.x-2.5.x.html#agents.

It is being used in squbs-unicomplex for keeping state. We need to refactor it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate all occurrences of 'Agent' in the squbs unicomplex module and replace them with appropriate Akka actors or other state management patterns as per the Akka 2.5 migration guide.
