I realized what I just said is confusing. I start out saying there is no N/W/R in Luwak and end by saying essentially the opposite. Maybe I shouldn't reply on my iPhone while drinking a beer on my front stoop? Such a nice night in Baltimore.
Luwak has no _direct_ notion of N/W/R. You can't call a Luwak specific URL or Luwak Erlang API and pass it those properties. No. However, underneath the surface, Luwak uses two Riak buckets to store all it's data. They are 'luwak_tld' and 'luwak_node'. Without getting into much detail, the first stores the file metadata object (Top Level Document), and the later stores the actual data chunks. That said, if you want all objects stored in Luwak to have a N=4 then you should first set the bucket props accordingly on the two luwak buckets. Maybe it would be nice to have these properties available via the app.config to make it more obvious? Then again, I've been drinking. -Ryan On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 6:44 PM, Ryan Zezeski <rzeze...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Aditya, > > There are no concepts of N, W, or R in Luwak.
