Morning, Afternoon, Evening to all, We have a lengthy Recap coming off a holiday weekend here in the States: Conference announcements, slides, new code, and plentiful Gists.
Enjoy, Mark Community Manager Basho Technologies wiki.basho.com twitter.com/pharkmillups ---- Riak Recap for 9/3 - 9/6 1) Not sure why I never got around to posting these slides until now... John D. Rowell put together an extensive slide deck on various NoSQL Technologies. The best part: these are in Portuguese! Those pertaining to Riak start here ---> http://jdrowell.com/talks/TDC2010/#slide69. Graças, John. 2) We added a Links and Link Walking section to the Riak Fast Track. Blog overview here ---> http://blog.basho.com/2010/09/03/links-and-link-walking-on-the-riak-fast-track/ Actual tutorial on the Fast Track here ---> http://wiki.basho.com/display/RIAK/Links+and+Link+Walking 3) Basho hacker Dave Smith (@dizzyd) will be speaking at the ACM SIGPLAN Erlang Workshop taking place Sept. 30th in Baltimore, MD. The title of his talk is "Concurrent Life, the Universe, and Everything Rebar." If you're within 1000 miles of Maryland, buy at plane ticket for this one. You won't be disappointed. More info here ---> http://www.erlang.org/workshop/2010/ 4) I may have mentioned this before, but Andy Gross, Basho's VP of Engineering, is going to be talking about Riak and Riak Core at JAOO in Aarhus, Denmark, Oct 4-6. Details here ---> http://jaoo.dk/aarhus-2010/speaker/Andy+Gross 5) I added Brian Kaney's new Ruby Library "Ripple-anaf" to the Community Code page on the wiki. Link is here ---> https://wiki.basho.com/display/RIAK/Community-Developed+Libraries+and+Projects 6) For anyone interested in using Riak with Perl, Franck Cuny's Net-Riak Driver just got bumped to 0.08 (with the help of Gavin Carr it looks like). Latest code and changes here ---> http://search.cpan.org/~franckc/Net-Riak-0.08/ 7) mheld, seancribbs, frostbytten and bingledac had a quick convo in #riak about production setups, calculating RAM requirements, and more. Gist here ---> http://gist.github.com/568391 8) _jac, benblack, and siculars had a conversation in #riak that started with, "If you want to grab the last 50 items inserted into a million-item bucket, do you use the bucket as your starting value, sort the values by date and take the last 50 in reduce functions? Gist here ---> http://gist.github.com/568401 9) acts_as made a comment about a new protobuff lib he is working on that I thought deserved its own Gist. Read it here ---> http://gist.github.com/568413 10) acts_as and jmeredith had a brief chat about several aspects of the Protocol Buffers API. Gist here ---> http://gist.github.com/568478 11) Q --- So when using HA Proxy, nginx, etc., how does it work in practise when a node dies or you want to add new nodes? You then need to reconfigure your reverse proxy? A --- As a rule for load balancers you define a health check for each node, and it only sends requests to ones that pass. In Riak's case you can request http://blah:8098/ping and it'll respond OK. 12) Q --- Has someone used the keys=stream feature with Riak REST? I'm trying to get data by requesting /riak/test?keys=stream, but response is {props} only, without keys. In console everything is fine and keys are transferred. I think this is a Firefox bug or... feature :D I try to send a request with another browser (Chrome and Opera) and everything is fine. I have 1400 keys in the test bucket and Firefox cut the response, but Chrome and Opera don't. (from WT_ via #riak). A --- This is a known issue.
