I'm playing with riak to see what it's good for, so I need to ask: Sean Cribbs wrote: > To understand why listing keys is difficult, you have to understand Riak's > (and Dynamo's) original design motivations: > > * To be basically available at all times for reads and writes, which in turn > means to be tolerant of machine and network failures. > * To provide low-latency random access to large data sets.

Apart from trivial cases like including those keys in pregenerated HTML pages, so when user clicks the link, riak is queried for that key? Do people generate their keys from some templates, like searching a bucket "city-zip_code" would generate a range of keys like "london_w2qsomething" to "london_somethingelse" ? This may look silly to you, but I'm trying to get to grips with idea how riak is *actually used* in querying. - -- Regards, mk - -- Premature optimization is the root of all fun. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNQyH/AAoJEFMgHzhQQ7hOqcoH/itq5jVuBr4ZCnDP06G2tae0 nQMIarWOS8rIVqEB6vv99AKggoW9FGCBfR4uOjKzZIv5QgSGWcvvQlcP1hqj3kmD SfKkLKxP7iEDK+w+D/tHlYTuuMkc0PBI2crWtKj6VB6/bPl7eP9SPJBr9Qh86M4l 6KWbQpufkpAKvroJ0odos9qO6bozqM1afUaN0m7v183ghGhUl6TJZ21DDylahNx0 MfOox0hl3vxJoUff+qsJiBas2XyD0hBm8vaFux8XhCFermXqgdLHmrHfawzPBpQi JLwYTfq25Kj/xFhyDE4uXLRoH8BHGeRCVwpmTvnvGQyvhMoEz+959kE3WFW41yE= =sjMV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
