Hey everyone, I'm beginning to experiment with Riak and I'm trying to better understand how to model my data. One question I have at the moment is how to evolve my data with a data store such as Riak? I know that it's schema-less and that I can add new fields as needed but I'm thinking more about the existing documents.
For example, say hypothetically, that I have a fairly successful riak-based app. As the application code continues to evolve over several versions I begin to find a "better" way to model my data. By this time I have already stored many, many documents. What is the appropriate path here? Do I version my documents with metadata and rely on my application code to continue to deal with old-style documents -- or do I perform some sort of bulk transformation on these existing documents?
