I understand that the way to do access control to data is with a web server in front of Riak. I am using YAWS for that, and the Erlang code will be making direct Riak API calls and then sending the results out in HTTP responses. The access control is non-trivial, can involve a large number of users, and the authorization can be time-limited; so I don't see any other way to handle that. ok.
Most of my data records are images, and they can get into the few hundred KB size range. If I have to fetch the entire thing from Riak into my app code, then send that in one operation out in HTTP, the response time to the end client will be increased. Is there a way I can fetch large data from Riak in pieces and do chunked transfer to the end user, perhaps 64KB at a time? It might save on memory usage too, not having to buffer entire images at a time. _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
