All - I have some test procedures that require that I start with an empty data store and end with the data exactly as it was before the test.
The brute force approach I'm taking now is to: * shut down riak * rename the data/bitcask directory * start riak * run my test and validate the results in riak * shut down riak * move the saved bitcask-xyz dir to bitcask again * start riak As you can see, I *really* want to start with no data, and end with no changes to the existing data. Of course, if other users were accessing riak, this wouldn't work, but this is a test environment over which I have control. My problem is that it takes a little time after running riak start or stop for the operation to complete, and so I have to insert a sleep afterwards so that the next step in the code is not performed prematurely. Is there a way using the Ruby Riak client to know for sure whether or not riak is ready for action? I could loop every fraction of a second, or, if there were a blocking call, that would be even better. That said, the shutting down and restarting is pretty drastic action. Is there a faster/easier/better way to accomplish what I want to do?
