Thank you everybody for the feedback. I am planning to write binary data to Riak from the application server which handles upload. On the read side I am planning to use Apache with mod_proxy and mod_rewrite to directly fetch from Riak and serve the files without any other application server / scripting overhead.
I feel this is the least overhead path to using Riak as a file store. Comments please.
