"""Create an actor.
This method allows more flexibility than the remote method because
resource requirements can be specified and override the defaults in the
decorator.
Args:
args: The arguments to forward to the actor constructor.
kwargs: The keyword arguments to forward to the actor constructor.
num_cpus: The number of CPUs required by the actor creation task.
num_gpus: The number of GPUs required by the actor creation task.
memory: Restrict the heap memory usage of this actor.
object_store_memory: Restrict the object store memory used by
this actor when creating objects.
resources: The custom resources required by the actor creation
task.
is_direct_call: Use direct actor calls.
max_concurrency: The max number of concurrent calls to allow for
this actor. This only works with direct actor calls. The max
concurrency defaults to 1 for threaded execution, and 1000 for
asyncio execution. Note that the execution order is not
guaranteed when max_concurrency > 1.
name: The globally unique name for the actor, which can be used
to retrieve the actor via ray.get_actor(name) as long as the
actor is still alive.
lifetime: Either `None`, which defaults to the actor will fate
share with its creator and will be deleted once its refcount
drops to zero, or "detached", which means the actor will live
as a global object independent of the creator.
placement_group: the placement group this actor belongs to,
or None if it doesn't belong to any group.
placement_group_bundle_index: the index of the bundle
if the actor belongs to a placement group, which may be -1 to
specify any available bundle.
Returns:
A handle to the newly created actor.
