Kaspar -
Russell and I got together and discussed this a little more this morning.
The reason it's not exposed at the IRiakClient and RawClient interfaces is
because the underlying original HTTP client API doesn't support a byte array as
a key; it only uses String. Because of this, our IRiakObject default
implementation only takes a String for a key, and our annotation processing
only works with a String as well. It was all designed around being protocol
neutral to sit on top of both of the old clients.
That being said, what does work perfectly fine is creating a new String from
the byte array. Java does the right thing and this works regardless of whether
you are using the PB or HTTP client:
IRiakClient client = RiakFactory.pbcClient(); // or .httpClient()
Bucket b = client.fetchBucket("this").execute();
byte[] foo = { 0, 5, 120, 1 };
String key = new String(foo);
b.store(key, "this is my value").execute();
IRiakObject o = b.fetch(key).execute();
System.out.println(o.getValueAsString());
client.shutdown();
Thanks!
