Lei,

One issue that stands out is that you are running a single-node cluster.
With a n_val of 3, you will be storing 3 copies of every piece of data on
that one node.  Also, if you are doing a read with a r of 3, you are
waiting for the data to be read three times from a single node.  If
possible, consider making a larger cluster (even with smaller machines) to
get a better idea about how Riak operates.  We recommend a minimum of five
physical nodes for a n_val of 3.  If you lower your n_val you can possibly
lower your physical node count and still get good performance at the
sacrifice of higher availability.

Given all of the above, it is still unusual that your reads *never* return.
 There might be another issue there irregardless of cluster size.  When you
say "connected" objects, are you referring to links and link-walking?   If
so, how deep are you going with your links?  Some context here would be
helpful.

Thanks,
Jared
