Oh, I think I see. In this case not even the metadata can be
translated to JSON. The usual kind of errors about JSON were about
the data itself, when attempting to parse it via Riak.mapValuesJson or
similar. That's why the supplied function should be written in Erlang.

You're right, map actually fetches the object. The use-case here is to
get a bunch of keys to delete their values in a subsequent operation.
This works (in riak-js):
db.add({ bucket: 'luwak_tld', key_filters: [['starts_with',
'e276814e96e0616eb7c07d3bb744d333']]}).reduce({ language: 'erlang',
module: 'riak_kv_mapreduce', function: 'reduce_identity', keep: true
}).run(/* remove values in this callback */)
Thanks, Bryan.
