    I am confused, are you suggesting that spark is talking to the
    journal data store directly, without any involvement of Akka /
    Akka Persistence?  If so, it sounds like a great solution but
    why would that require an extension to the Akka Persistence
    design/API?

    Well, another comment is that spark uses Akka actors in its
    implementation, so I don’t see why it would magically be “much
    more efficient”. I think we are mixing up two concerns here, will
    reply later when I can type properly again.

    This is a misunderstanding. As mentioned in my previous message,
    scaling reads through a single journal actor doesn't work, it's
    not about that I see a general performance issue with Akka actors.



I think the integration "akka persistence -> kafka -> spark -> whatever" looks great, but not everybody has that infrastructure, and therefore we provide PersistentView as a simple way to replicate events to the read side, and then a de-normalized representation can be stored in whatever makes sense for the queries.

Of course, that should be possible too, and as I already said, backend store providers can choose to use the very same backend for both plugins. There is absolutely no need that applications must use Spark as part of their infrastructure infrastructure. But if it is needed in large-scale applications, a seconds plugin API for on the read side would make things much more flexible. For users, who just want to have a single backend store, they just have to configure one additional line (plugin) in their application conf.


Martin, what do you suggest? Removing PersistentView altogether?

No, not at all, with an additional plugin, PersistentViews should have the option to read transformed/joined/... streams from a backend store that is optimized for that.
