Kevin, We designed CI's interface in such a way to avoid the user (ie. you!) from having to worry about the transport mechanism. Most of the features of Riak are available via the PB interface, with just a couple of small things only available through the HTTP interface. CI uses PB where possible as this is noticeably faster than the HTTP interface. It will fall back to HTTP for those cases where it has to.
I personally feel that this is how the clients should be designed. Transport information leaking up to the user of the library isn't particularly nice and results in user code changes when features shift to different transport mechanisms. The docs on CI.org are definitely minimal, and that's something that Jeremiah and are I looking to fix up when we finally get v1.0 out the door with full Riak 1.2 support (including a fluent search interface). However, while they're minimal they do cover a number of common cases, particularly the ones which would get you started. There are sample applications that you can browse as well which show you how to get going. So in short, no there's probably no correlation to what you're reading in 7DBI7W, because that book is about teaching the user about Riak, not about how to use the client APIs in the most optimum way. What kind of documentation are you looking for that is lacking? Are you looking to learn more about Riak specifically? If so, then I'd recommend opening up a command prompt and probing Riak with cURL. You'll learn a lot. If you're wanting to get going with CI, then have a read through the docs we do have and hit us with questions. If you don't want to hit the list with CI related questions, please feel free to contact both me and Jeremiah (CCed) directly. We're happy to help. Best.
