Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before - I couldn't find a searchable archive of this list.

I was told to ask this list whether or not Riak would be appropriate for tracking our site's metrics. We are currently using Redis for this but are at the point where we need both clustering and m/r capability, and on the surface, Riak looks to fit this bill (we already use Erlang elsewhere in our app, so that's an additional plus).

The records are pretty small and can be representated easily in json. An example:

{
  "id": "c4473dc5cfc5da53831d47c4c016d1c7de0a31e4fd94229e47ade569ef011a7b"
  "type": "Photo::Click",
  "user_id": 2640,
  "photo_id": 255,
  "ip": "100.101.102.103",
  "created_at": "2011/04/08 17:09:40 -0700"
}

We currently have around 25 million records similar to this one, and are adding 4-5 million more each month.

Is Riak appropriate for this use case? Are there any gotchas I need to be aware of?

thank you,

-mike
