You either take the hit at write time or at query time. Personally, I think
this is easier to understand and manage, but it may also depend on what other
queries you want to run. For example, if your other queries are more focused
on the individual visitor, it might make sense to have a list of
alternative_ids in the Visitor class, instead of having something (experience
or alternative) link to it. The key takeaway I'm trying to lead you to is that
data types that are effectively "joins" are less efficient/useful in Riak.

Our community manager has some better documentation in the oven, but there are
a number of them in these two files:
(JS) https://github.com/basho/riak_kv/blob/master/priv/mapred_builtins.js
(Erlang)
https://github.com/basho/riak_kv/blob/d4c6930d97fb109f9dcb3c73a99747ca217275c7/src/riak_kv_mapreduce.erl
