Thanks for the reply, Christian.

I didn't explain well enough in my first post - the map reduce operation is
merely loading a bunch of objects, and a Python script which makes the
connection to Riak then will write these objects to disk. (It's probably
obvious, but I'm using javascript and riak python client.)

The query itself has many map phases where a composite object is built up
from related objects spread across many buckets.

I was hoping there may be some kind of timeout I could adjust on a per-map
phase basis - clutching at straws really.

Cheers
Matt
