Hello: After reviewing a few options in the NoSQL space, I am considering using Riak for an e-commerce platform. I gather that atomicity (transactions) is not supported while durability can be enforced per request (using dw=1 or, at least, w=<suitable value>?). In other words, for most non-critical reads/writes, r/w can be optimized for availability while critical writes must be committed to disk (or to "enough" nodes?), sacrificing availability in the process.
Does this describe the state-of-affairs or am I missing something? -- Ahmed Al-Saadi Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig)
