Hello, I have been slowly learning & evaluating Riak for a product I am developing. Originally I gave Riak a whirl about 6 months back, but stopped due to some missing features. With the recent release of 1.0 I've decided to give it another chance.
So here are a few kick off questions I hope you can help answer to get me started again: 1. Since I am back to square one, I am looking at the clients again.... Currently my programming language of choice is Clojure, and initially I had been playing around with the Clj-Riak library (https://github.com/mmcgrana/clj-riak) which I had believed was a thin wrapper around the standard Java protocol buffer client maintained by Basho, however in looking at the source I notice clj-riak actually uses an alternative client, linked here: https://github.com/krestenkrab/riak-java-pb-client, written by some fellow at trifork (isn't trifork Basho's primary investor?). Anyways it looks as though this Kresten fellow has been able to improve the java client's performance by a factor of 10. Has anyone upgraded this alternate version, or have an opinion to its alignment with Riak 1.0? Note: I'm sure I can use the new java client, but a 10x speed up sounds pretty appealing and I'm wondering why it's not already a topic here. 2. Are there any known plans for a Riak cloud service? I know about Joyent, but frankly I don't like their business model and can't see using them. Just curious if there's anything in the works. Note: as a preemptive answe: I'm looking for a service which is 1. more reasonably priced, 2. has an initial free tier and 3. automates the upgrades and the linking/start-up process... so really, I'm looking for the MongoHQ of Riak (https://mongohq.com/pricing). Thanks, Tim Robinson
