Hi Wilson, I've seen UserMeta used for soft deleting records. The Riak object is stored with "X-Riak-Meta-Deleted: 1" and indexed into Solr. Searches filtered results based on the X-Riak-Meta-Deleted field.
You may also choose to store ACLs in the UserMeta. You can accept arbitrary content from users, dump the data into the value of the Riak object, set the content-type, and store a X-Riak-Meta-UserId in the UserMeta. When retrieving the data you can restrict access based on that field (e.g. make sure the requesting user id matches the field).
