As discussed so far, the writes to the store go through an event log, while reads are transient network requests that go directly to the nodes that store the data being queried. This is a reasonable design, but not the only possible one. It is also possible to represent read requests as streams of events, and send both the read events and the write events through a stream processor; the processor responds to read events by emitting the result of the read to an output stream [46].
