Hi Darren, I've actually forwarded this email to the riak-users group to get better visibility on the issue as I feel your question is very important to the future of Riak Control. It's been discussed that the future of Riak Control is in configuration and administration of your cluster, over the ability to provide a full query-engine for your cluster in the browser. Building a fully-featured MapReduce interface is quite an undertaking, especially if we want to provide the ability to author both types of jobs, specify inputs based on 2i or Search queries, visualize the results in a meaningful way as well as view progress of currently running jobs. The usefulness of this feature also seems to diminish as developers become more experienced with performing queries in this manner, and as their cluster grows in size. I'm happy to discuss the feature further, and I'd love to hear the use case you have for a MapReduce feature in Riak Control. It might be something we haven't thought about! Thinking towards the future, I'm hoping to continue to build out the cluster management page to use the new API provided in Riak 1.2 for staging changes, as well as provide better ways to visualize handoff, ring status and view statistics of cluster performance. - Chris -- Christopher Meiklejohn _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
