Hi Aditya, There are no concepts of N, W, or R in Luwak. This is because Luwak is built _on top_ of Riak. To be more specific, Luwak takes a large file and chunks it into smaller pieces. These smaller pieces are then hashed, and stored under a key equal to the hash value. That is, Luwak uses something called a hash tree to store data. This has the nice benefit that you don't take a storage hit for redundant data because Luwak files will share data they have in common. However, it has the drawback that deleting something is non-trivial, and currently Luwak does not actually remove the data when you delete a file.
If you want to change the N/W/R props of Luwak (as a whole) then you can do so by setting the luwak_node and luwak_tld bucket props appropriately. -Ryan [Sent from my iPhone] On Feb 18, 2011, at 4:31 PM, Aditya Patadia <adityapata...@gmx.com> wrote: > How can I set the number of replica for the Luwak ??
