I just ran a script on a my dev machine to remove everything in the local riaksearch instance. In the process, I found something very strange. Specifically, there exists objects in my instance that cannot be deleted (I get an error whenever I try) and that always appear with their data intact.
Here's a specific example: > curl > 'http://localhost:8098/riak/clips/9ce2532a8d53b6335b1c4d3955d1267345905cac:4c8a0a1d8ef83af4be6a9aa170d6323ecba22b2f' {"user":"9ce2532a8d53b6335b1c4d3955d1267345905cac","blob":"4c8a0a1d8ef83af4be6a9aa170d6323ecba22b2f","ctime":1297550238922,"mtime":1297550238922,"text":"something matter gop imgur imgur com","title":"Something the matter, GOP? - Imgur ","url":"http://imgur.com/Ir34G","domain":"imgur.com","tags":"","annote":"","private":1,"width":"625","height":"332","version":"0.1"} > curl -X DELETE > 'http://localhost:8098/riak/clips/9ce2532a8d53b6335b1c4d3955d1267345905cac:4c8a0a1d8ef83af4be6a9aa170d6323ecba22b2f' <html><head><title>500 Internal Server Error</title></head><body><h1>Internal Server Error</h1>The server encountered an error while processing this request:<br><pre>{error,badarg, [{erlang,iolist_to_binary,[notfound]}, {wrq,append_to_response_body,2}, {riak_kv_wm_raw,delete_resource,2}, {webmachine_resource,resource_call,3}, {webmachine_resource,do,3}, {webmachine_decision_core,resource_call,1}, {webmachine_decision_core,decision,1}, {webmachine_decision_core,handle_request,2}]}</pre><P><HR><ADDRESS>mochiweb+webmachine web server</ADDRESS></body></html> Meanwhile, sasl-error.log shows for that last command: =ERROR REPORT==== 18-Feb-2011::08:24:18 === webmachine error: path="/riak/clips/9ce2532a8d53b6335b1c4d3955d1267345905cac:4c8a0a1d8ef83af4be6a9aa170d6323ecba22b2f" {error,badarg, [{erlang,iolist_to_binary,[notfound]}, {wrq,append_to_response_body,2}, {riak_kv_wm_raw,delete_resource,2}, {webmachine_resource,resource_call,3}, {webmachine_resource,do,3}, {webmachine_decision_core,resource_call,1}, {webmachine_decision_core,decision,1}, {webmachine_decision_core,handle_request,2}]} Does anyone have any ideas what is going on and how best to avoid it? It stuff like this that terrifies me.
