Correct, but it is important to note that Riak is still at the core of Riak CS. > So... if I have a social network and one of the features is that they can > share video, I would use a normal Riak cluster for the webapp and data and a > Riak CS cluster for the video storage/streaming... am I right? That seems like a reasonable conclusion. Riak is fundamentally a distributed key/value store for low latency access to smaller pieces of data. Riak CS is an S3/Swift API-compatible object storage platform with a little higher request latency, but also the added ability to house very large objects (backups, raw images, video). > By the way, couldn't this "range header" be implemented in standard Riak? > might be a good thing to have so you don't need 2 clusters for this matter. It could some day. Right now, separating the clusters is best because tuning a single cluster for both use cases would be difficult. > Thanks, > Alex > > > On Thu, Jun 26, 2014 at 9:28 PM, Hector Castro <hec...@basho.com> wrote: >> >> Hi Alex, >> >> For this type of problem, you may want to look into Riak CS.
