Hi Yann, since we provide user implementable Journal APIs to which we send PersistentRepr we (as in Akka) don't really have control over the format of how a journal plugin will decide to store this data. This is by design, since we want to be de-coupled from any database specifics in the APIs. In HBase I store a whole lot of data in the row key, an SQL journal would probably utilise separate columns for the persistenceId and the sequenceNr etc.
It is up to the journal plugin to decide how the data will be fit into the database ("if you're mongo, just slap a json document into the collection and it'll work fine" – etc) – which is why my answer here is to implement a Journal plugin that would store the data in a way you see fit – just setting the serialiser won't be enough since the plugin may still do wrapping, and we can't force people to not do so, since perhaps it's exactly what they need. If your case is strong enough to really need full human readability, writing a small plugin shouldn't be to big of a price to pay :-) Related question: which database are you targeting? I hope you see my point and this helps in the long run! -- Cheers, Konrad 'ktoso' Malawski hAkker @ Typesafe <http://typesafe.com> -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
