Listing keys in a bucket has been described as "bad" and something you use in development but not in production. I'm just starting out on Riak so I'm a newbie...
I'm thinking of building an application using Riak as filestorage and possibly much more than that, but it would at least store lots of files with, perhaps, metadata attached. How would I then list files for display in a webapp if I don't use key listing? I've been thinking of perhaps maintaining a separate index for all the files but this would get VERY large when there are many files in riak, so updating this index (I assume) would involve getting the index inserting something and then putting it back into riak. For example in a Railsapp I would then get the whole index (as json) and modifying it, then put it back in riak but what if there are tens of thousands of files? Should I use a separate database for storing the index perhaps - like MySQL or Mongo? Anyone already doing something like this?
