The Dynamo paper talks about Amazon addressing data center availability by forcing the node preference lists to include nodes across various data centers. Does Riak have this support at all? Are there plans to include such?
I'm aware that Basho takes a different approach to data center replication with the EnterpriseDS edition, but there are other use cases where I think the original Dynamo approach fits. For example, I'm presently looking into a VPS environment where some VMs are on the same physical server. I'd like to run Riak in all the VMs, but guarantee that at least K replicas map to different physical servers. It seems like the Dynamo approach could fit here. Likewise, a similar idea would hold to replicating betweek racks/blade servers/etc. It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to add a notion of 'class' to the nodes, and force K of the N replicas to nodes of different classes. Think I'll spend sometime looking through the Riak source to determine how difficult it would be to add such. Or is there a different / better solution?
