akka-persistence-mapdb

akka-persistence-mapdb is a plugin for akka-persistence which uses MapDB for storing journal and snapshot messages.

Getting Started

Add the following dependency to your build.sbt:

libraryDependencies += "com.fgrutsch" %% "akka-persistence-mapdb" % "<latest>"

Add the following to your application.conf to use akka-persistence-mapdb as the persistence backend:

akka {
  persistence {
    journal {
      plugin = "mapdb-journal"
    }
    snapshot-store {
      plugin = "mapdb-snapshot"
    }
  }
}

This is the minimum required configuration you need to use akka-persistence-mapdb. No further configuration is needed to get it running. Be aware that this by default stores data in memory, check out the full documentation on how to change that.

If you need to query the stored events you can use Persistence Query to stream them from the journal. All queries are supported:

import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import akka.persistence.query.PersistenceQuery
import com.fgrutsch.akka.persistence.mapdb.query.scaladsl.MapDbReadJournal

val actorSystem: ActorSystem = ???
val readJournal: MapDbReadJournal = PersistenceQuery(actorSystem).readJournalFor[MapDbReadJournal](MapDbReadJournal.Identifier)
