* and addition of TimestampOffset * ApiMayChange * small mention in docs eventsBySlices is intended to be a better way to retrieve all events for an entity type than eventsByTag. The usage of `eventsByTag` for Projections has the major drawback that the number of tags must be decided up-front and can't easily be changed afterwards. Starting with too many tags means much overhead since many projection instances would be running on each node in a small Akka Cluster. Each projection instance polling the database periodically. Starting with too few tags means that it can't be scaled later to more Akka nodes. Instead of tags we can store a slice number by hashing the persistence id. Like `math.abs(persistenceId.hashCode % numberOfSlices)`. Then the Projection query can be a range query of the slices. For example if using 128 slices and running 4 Projection instances the slice ranges would be 0-31, 32-63, 64-95, 96-128. That can easily be split to more Projection instances when needed and still reuse the offsets for the previous range distributions. |

Akka 

We believe that writing correct concurrent & distributed, resilient and elastic applications is too hard. Most of the time it's because we are using the wrong tools and the wrong level of abstraction.
Akka is here to change that.
Using the Actor Model we raise the abstraction level and provide a better platform to build correct concurrent and scalable applications. This model is a perfect match for the principles laid out in the Reactive Manifesto.
For resilience, we adopt the "Let it crash" model which the telecom industry has used with great success to build applications that self-heal and systems that never stop.
Actors also provide the abstraction for transparent distribution and the basis for truly scalable and fault-tolerant applications.
