Great news! I am planning to try it out soon in development. 2010/5/5 Justin Sheehy <jus...@basho.com>: > Riak Users, > > You might have noticed that we released a new local key/value store > recently: http://blog.basho.com/2010/04/27/hello,-bitcask/ > > As of just now, it is available as a storage engine ("backend") in the > tip of the Riak repository. > > You can use it like any other backend just by setting the > storage_backend application variable in the riak_kv application to > riak_kv_bitcask_backend (in your "app.config") on a fresh node so that > it will use Bitcask for storage. > > There is a new application in app.config, "bitcask", for more detailed > configuration of bitcask behavior. Some of the variables you can set > in there are: > > data_root: string (required) - the directory for bitcask to use for > storage and metadata > > merge_strategy: {hours, N} - perform a data file merge every N hours > > sync_strategy: how to manage syncing of data files being written. choices: > none (default) - let the O/S decide > o_sync - use the O_SYNC flag to sync each write > {seconds, N} - call bitcask:sync/1 every N seconds > > A couple of things aren't done yet, including more proactive > generation of hintfiles, faster startup time, smarter merge > strategies, more extensive testing on more platforms, documentation on > usage, and more. We are not yet recommending this as a primary > production backend, but we expect to very soon.
