Andrew, The best way to do what you describe is to have a cluster in each datacenter with the multi-cluster replication feature from the EnterpriseDS version of Riak running between them. Replication will automatically propagate writes in both directions and will give you the local access performance you need. We recommend against having a single cluster span data centers as any given cluster really needs to share a low-latency network.
