Mathias's book is great. I'd love to see more detail in Riak wiki, or maybe a separate reference section. For instance, where are the details of available Action arguments for for map_object_value, or for that matter the list of available built-in m/r functions? As far as I know, you've got to dig into riak_kv_mapreduce.erl* *to find out. Riak is easy to set up and use, but once you get past basic use-cases, getting information isn't as simple as it could be.
