After several hours of searching, trying, getting errors ... finally I was
able to insert secondary index with riak-erlang-client. Here is the code
which I successfully ran:
%% Set some vars
{Bucket, Key, Index} = {<<"test_users">>, <<"aldarkusa">>, [{"qayerda_bin",
"Qozoqta"}]}.
%% Connect to riak
{ok, Pid} = riakc_pb_socket:start_link("127.0.0.1", 8087).
%% Create a new riak object
Obj = riakc_obj:new(Bucket, Key, <<"Yomonlarni aldap yurgan
Aldarkusa">>).
%% Create a new metadata with secondary index
Meta = dict:store(<<"index">>, Index, dict:new()).
%% Update the object we've created before
NewObj = riakc_obj:update_metadata(Obj, Meta).
%% Finally, put/insert the updated new object
riakc_pb_socket:put(Pid, NewObj).
I think Basho should update/improve the documentation. Examples in Links
page (http://wiki.basho.com/Links.html) gave me some clues how to update
metadata but the examples themselves were outdated.
Another idea is to allow users to post their examples (community content).
