And while I think Mongo's architecture is terrible, we have a use case that fits perfectly capped collections. Thus, we use it for that purpose. > 2. Improve secondary indexes.

I'd add to that, allow some mechanism generate streaming inputs to a MR job and to short circuit them when the job is satisfied some way. E.g. you want to search for some data, say the most recent X by time. If you got an indexed time field, either using search or secondary indexes, right now you can only specify the whole time range in the input phase of the job, but that is inefficient, since Riak will fetch all values in parallel (there may be some optimization around key ordering, but you can't always control the key). So you may fetch thousands of values to retrieve 10. The alternative is to perform an iterative search until you obtain the number of values you want. It would be best if I could specify multiple input phases to a MR job that would be processed in order, then have some way for a downstream phase to indicate no more input is needed and terminate input processing.
