Sean,
I'll fork and submit a pull request sometime soon. Will things continue
to be configured with binaries, or will it switch to atoms at some point?
Also, Is there a way to configure specific buckets in the config, or to
specify default bucket properties for a particular bucket type in the config?
I see there is default_bucket_props, and you can have bucket specific
properties, but what I would want is some way to have a custom bucket type
which would require the hash function be different. This doesn't seem like
bucket specific config (ie, config passed to start/2), but instead feels like
per bucket type default config. I think I can work around it by specifyng
it at the same time I specify the custom backend. Like
curl -X PUT -H "content-type: application/json" -d
'{"props":{"backend":"my_backend"},"chash_keyfun":{"mod":"my_backend","fun":"my_hash"}}'
http://127.0.0.1:8098/riak/mybucket
but this feels risky, as it would be easy for someone to miss.
I'd prefer being able to set that in default bucket props for a particular
backend. That seems cleaner, and less error-prone.
Anyway, if it doesn't work in this way, any reason it couldn't?
