Hi Praveen,
There are a few things that could be contributing the to 404s.
The most likely issue has to do with your "n" and "r" values. With an
"r" of 1, and a laggy node in your cluster, you could have a situation
that resembled a netsplit. (At the moment, Riak does better with
downed nodes than laggy ones.) Laggy responses will result in you
returning a notfound to the client if you're only waiting for 1 of 2
existing replicas and have "{notfound_ok, true}".
Potential solutions to this (assuming it's the problem):
* consider retrying a number of times with your client logic; there is
some information about why you might want to do this on the wiki [0]
* change to "{notfound_ok, false}" because otherwise if a "not_found"
comes back on the first response, it'll be treated as valid
* increase R to 2.
There are a few other potential culprits, but this is the most-likely.
Let us know if any of that helps.
Mark
