Afternoon, Evening, Morning to all, For today's recap we have a podcast, blog posts, new community code and a few Gists from #riak.
Enjoy! Mark Community Manager Basho Technologies wiki.basho.com twitter.com/pharkmillups ---- Riak Recap for Nov. 15 - 17 1) J. Brisbin pushed code for MapReduce, links and Etag-based caching for Riak in Spring Data. Latest changes here ---> https://github.com/SpringSource/spring-data-keyvalue 2) Gavin Carr wrote up a blog post called "Exploring Riak." It's based on his evaluation for Riak as a large "brackup" datastore. Definitely worth the read. Post here ---> http://www.openfusion.net/sysadmin/exploring_riak Thanks, Gavin! 3) O.J. Reeves (@TheColonial), who has authored some fantastic blog posts on Erlang Web Development , was recently on the "Coding By Numbers" podcast. He was interviewed about, among other things, his forays into learning Erlang. Riak and a few other pieces of Basho software are mentioned around the 27 minute mark. Podcast here ---> http://www.codingbynumbers.com/ And for those of you who haven't checked out his blog series on Erlang Web Dev, you should do so here ---> http://buffered.io/2010/09/01/webmachine-erlydtl-and-riak-part-1/ Thank, OJ! 4) Daniel Lindsley (@daniellindsley) put together an exceptional blog post called, "Getting Started With Riak & Python" over on the Pragmatic Badger Blog. This post is extensive, and is packed with code examples and benchmarks. In other word, read it (even if Python isn't your preferred programming language). Post here ---> http://pragmaticbadger.com/latestnews/2010/nov/16/getting-started-riak-python/ Thanks, Daniel! 5) Q --- Are requests for non-existent bucket/keys expensive in any weird way? (from jmayfield via #riak ) A --- No. It should be no more expensive than a lookup for an existing object. 6) marcrosoft, bingeldac and benblack had a quick conversation in #riak that started with "How do people typically come up with a naming convention for keys?" Gist here ---> https://gist.github.com/704394 7) nfo, mojito and seancribbs had a brief convo in #riak that started with, "I'm trying to avoid 404s when I read an object I've just created.If n_val=3 and w=3, then the PUT request will respond only when all copies are created, right ?"
