My team is in pre-production and were chasing some odd behaviors that we 
believe are contributing to stability issues with our application and our 
Cassandra cluster. 

First some environment information:

Akka version - 2.4.11
Cassandra Version - 3.3 - 3 node Cassandra in 2 DC

Now based on my understanding of Akka persistence in a health system I'd 
expect my writes to far outpace my reads in the journal since the 
persistent actor should only execute a journal read on creation to see if 
there is any journal to playback. After my actor receives RecoverCompleted 
I'd expect no more reads and for writes to dominate my journal 
transactions. Based on our datadog graphs we're seeing our reads being 
constant and often outpacing our writes. I also encountered similar 
behavior when I did a simple test with the DynamoDB journal plugin. I 
provisioned 15 for both reads and writes per second. When I ran my simple 
developer test I looked at my cloudwatch graphs and saw my reads exceeded 
provisioned readers but the writes were within expected parameters. So am I 
missing something in the Akka infrastructure that is constantly reading 
from the journal table?

Regards,

Richard
