I've been playing around with riak lately as really my first usage of a distributed key/value store. I quite like many of the concepts and possibilities of Riak and what it may deliver, however I'm really stuck on an issue.
Doing the equivalent of a select * from sometable in riak is seemingly slow. As a quick test I tried... http://localhost:8098/riak/mytable?keys=true Before even iterating over the keys this was unbearably slow already. This took almost half a second on my machine where mytable is completely empty! I'm a little baffled, I would assume that getting all the keys of a table is an incredibly common task? How do I get all the keys of a table quickly? By quickly I mean a few milliseconds or less as I would expect of even a "slow" rdbms with an empty table, even some tables with 1000's of items can get all the primary keys of a sql table in a few milliseconds.
