Is there a plan to expose the seqNr? It's useful to me as an ordered partition increasing number.

notxcain commented

@dispalt What seqNr do you refer to and where should it be exposed?

dispalt commented

I am referring to the actor's offset (better word for it then sequence number). In straight akka land I'd typically use to use it as a starting point for a journal. e.g. Give me the current state, (including the sequence number/offset) and then start watching for events from that place on.

notxcain commented

Ah, you mean you want to start recovery from specific state and sequence number, rather than from zero?

dispalt commented

Well I guess yeah I sometimes use the raw event stream to do stuff, like show an activity log... And so if I want to look at something from now til whenever I leave, I'd subscribe to the journal stream, starting at the current offset.
