Hello Dan, a PersistentActor is told to be in recovery when it is receiving messages from the journal. When message replay from the journal is completed and PersistenActor starts processing messages from the live system - recovery is finished.
On the contrary, PersistentView is always getting messages from the journal. It is constantly in recovery state. It is true that PersistentView can get other messages from the system while also getting messages from the journal. To check if the message is from the journal or not, you can call isPersistent in ProcessorView <http://doc.akka.io/api/akka/2.3.6/?_ga=1.98725278.1605653757.1411556235#akka.persistence.PersistentView> while handling a message. Hope this helps.
