Here here. I'm working on that, too. There is a draft of the API here https://github.com/russelldb/riak-java-client-api/tree/fluent > So, I decided to write my own client and semi-ORM layer.

I've only had a brief look but I like it very much, thanks for making it and sharing it. We seem to have covered a lot of the same ground but it is great to have a diverse range of clients for different use cases. I'll pull the repo and have a more detailed look, I'm hoping you may have solved some of the problems I'm looking at already ;) > > Andrew > _______________________________________________ > riak-users mailing list > riak-users@lists.basho.com > http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
