First, hello all! Coming from Redis, I love that you can just put any binary blob in Redis which is just treated as a string. This is possible because Redis strings are what they call 'binary safe'. This makes it possible to return slices of string-encoded binary data, which is super useful for bitset-operations, etc.
I'm investigating Riak and I like it a lot so far. Riak seems to have range queries (on values, as it seems I must make that distinction with column-stores), but I'm not sure if strings in Riak are "Binary safe" in the above sense. If not, is there another way to store binary data in Riak and still do range queries over them quickly? To be exact: I want to do multi-key lookups in Riak, where each returned result should be of format: <key,slice(featureX,start,end)> Thanks, Geert-Jan -- View this message in context: http://riak-users.197444.n3.nabble.com/Does-Riak-support-Range-Queries-over-binary-safe-strings-tp4028356.html Sent from the Riak Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
