I should have added that I want to avoid busy waiting. If the object doesn't exist, some other process will be working to populate it, and I don't want to keep on polling the database to see if the other process is done.
Moreover, the process that wants the result doesn't have a direct connection to the process that will be creating the result, so I'm wondering if I can use riak to facilitate them rendezvousing with each other. (Imaging, for instance, that the requesting process is a web generated AJAX request, and the process creating the result is a backend server process.)
