Hi David
I have look through the doc, I think it will be a good improvement to
this pattern usage, I'm interested in it. Do you have some POC work to
share for a closer look.
Besides, I have one question that can we support expose the namespace in
the different state type not limited to `TemporalState`. By this, user can
specify the namespace
and the TemporalState is one of the special case that it use timestamp as
the namespace. I think it will be more extendable.
What do you think about this ?
Best,
Aitozi.
