Hi, I am looking around for different solutions for a good file-store and the posibility to use Riak for that purpose.
As far as I understand, if I have a 10 node cluster with 2 replicas, an object will be stored on a total of 3 nodes. If I query a node where the object is NOT stored, the node will act as a proxy and fetch the object from one of the 3 resposible nodes and send it to the client. I do not want this. I prefer that the client fetches the object directly from the responsible node(s) without wasting traffic between the Riak nodes. Is there a way to make the node do a "http location" response back to the client with a redirect to one of the responsible nodes, so that the client can fetch direcly from the node where the object resides? I assume not. However, I was hoping there is a way to query Riak about on which nodes a specific object resides? Maybe there is a "info request" that only returns metadata and location info about an object? Something like "where is object X?" and Riak responds with a list of the 3 responsible nodes. Is this possible?
