Hi Michael,

yes, that makes sense. However PersistentView does not know when the
original recovery has finished and when the new messages since the creation
of PersistentView are being replayed. Lets think of some solutions to this
use case.

One solution I can see to this would be to do frequent snapshoting of the
PersistentView state. Then it would be possible to know that the recovery
is SnapshotOffer and other messages are replay from the journal.

Another solution would be asking for last persisted sequence number when
creating PersistentView. Then recovering PersistentView could track
incoming messages and determine when recovery is finished and when replay
starts.
