Hey, I am doing some benchmarks with Riak and set up a cluster with 6 server using Amazon EC2. On each server I have GB of data. I am using Bitcask as backend and the Java-API for my client. I have some workloads with different proportion of operations, for example insert, read and update. I started a workload with 95% read and 5% update and achieved a throughput of 1207 operations/second. When I tried out another workload with 100% read I only got 228 ops/sec. But I thought Riak would be faster with reads than with updates. I would appreciate if you could give me a hint, why Riak achieves a higher throughput when doing updates and inserts mixed with reads. Thank you in advance. Cheers, Maria
