Hi,

When creating an erlang client, is is better to use the riak_client module (ie. 
Erlang API) or the riakc_pb_socket module (PBC)? I've seen a number of code 
snippets and samples that use the erlang API and not the PBC (eg. 
http://wiki.basho.com/MapReduce.html) and for some erlang code inside 
riak_function_contrib. 

Obviously, to use the Erlang API I would need to have all the necessary beam 
files in my erlang path,  whereas the PBC only requires a limited set of beam 
files.  The Wiki says that the primary client for code not inside riak should 
be the Erlang PBC. However, is the anything technically wrong with using the 
erlang API?

Thanks,
Ryan
