What is the best way to refresh a Riak server? I'm using it in a different way in that I do not need any persistence of the data and in fact need the data cleared out each restart(but the data is too large to hold in RAM).
Basically I am using riak(or a cluster of 4, depending on where I'm at in the development stages) to store objects that are shared between 12 processes that are independent from each other and each given a chunk to work on, in the end all the necessary data is exported to flat textfiles. I've found when I restart riak I end up getting errors when I try to re-input the data. I've tried rm -rf'ing the data directory and it definitely does not like that. So far make clean; make rel has been the best solution for me. I'm sure for my use case there is a better tool(or not, Riak works great, gives me fast read/write support and let's me store the data in encoded form to be passed to other processes for later mangling). Any ideas? Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching and couldn't come up with anything.
