Anthony,
This is something I discovered a while back - define your backend names as
binaries and you'll be able to set them properly from the REST interface.
Example:
{storage_backend, riak_kv_multi_backend},
{multi_backend_default, <<"bitcask">>},
{multi_backend,
[ {<<"bitcask">>, riak_kv_bitcask_backend,
[{data_root, "/var/lib/riak/bitcask"}]},
{<<"dets">>, riak_kv_dets_backend,
[{riak_kv_dets_backend_root, "/var/lib/riak/dets"}]},
{<<"ets">>, riak_kv_ets_backend, []},
{<<"fs">>, riak_kv_fs_backend,
[{riak_kv_fs_backend_root, "/var/lib/riak/fs"}]},
{<<"cache">>, riak_kv_cache_backend,
[ {riak_kv_cache_backend_memory, 100},
{riak_kv_cache_backend_ttl, 600},
{riak_kv_cache_backend_max_ttl, 3600}
]},
{<<"my_backend">>, my_backend, []}
]},
Then you can set it like so
curl -X PUT -H "content-type: application/json" -d
'{"props":{"backend":"my_backend"}}' http://127.0.0.1:8098/riak/mybucket
Also note that only allow_mult and n_val are supported bucket properties from
the PB interface (something we'll be fixing soon).
