Morning, Afternoon, Evening to all, Hope everyone had a great weekend. For today's recap: Map/Reduce in Clojure, the beginnings of Riak + Haskell, Bitcask compaction, and much more.
Enjoy, Mark Community Manager Basho Technologies wiki.basho.com twitter.com/pharkmillups ---- Riak Recap for 8/20 - 8/22 1) @old_sound has been experimenting with doing M/R in Riak using Clojure. He just posted a great overview with code examples and a pointer to his new "closerl" repo. Post here ---> http://videlalvaro.github.com/2010/08/riak-map-reduce-queries-in-clojure.html 2) For all you Haskell fans out there...This repo surfaced a few days ago ---> http://github.com/cmoore/database-riak It's "the very beginnings of a Riak module for Haskell" so keep that in mind, but it's something to watch nonetheless. Thanks, Clint! 3) dizzyd and demmonoid had a few words in #riak about compaction in bitcask and how to trigger it. Gist here ---> http://gist.github.com/545756 4) wayneeseguin, seancribbs, dysinger and bingledac had a brief conversation that started with, "Can Riak handle merging of say 10 partitions each of 200G and looking as a single data store from without? " Check it out here ---> http://gist.github.com/545760 5) Q --- Is the riakc_pb client the preferred client to use for Erlang-based access to Riak? (from sfalcon via #riak) A --- Yes. 6) dizzyd and others put in some good work to chase down an issue sfalcon was having while testing Riak with the Erlang PB client. The issue ended up being related to an already-open ticket, but it's still worth the read. Gist here ---> http://gist.github.com/545789 7) Q --- Hey guys, quick data design question: is it fair to say that a bucket in Riak typically (though not always) maps to a table in a typical RDBMS? (from TheColonial via #riak) A --- Sometimes, though "typically" might be a bit strong as I would say that data modeling approaches differ somewhat when thinking in terms of bucketed k/v pairs with links as compared to tables. You can do many of the same things, but not all, and the structures don't quite serve the same purpose. _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
