Hi, I'm sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but .. well, I'm basically asking the same question as Alexander - will there be a way of link walking in future Riaks?
We're currently looking into ways of moving some of our data from Oracle into any nosql database. Vast majority of data will be structured into 4 tier ... structure - level 1 contains multiple level 2 elements, level 2 contains multiple level 3 elements. etc. The objects will not be big, so we're fine with storing them as a single document keyed by level-1 object's id - data would be used primarily for web lookup/display. However, there's also a different group of documents that logically references objects from the hierarchical data, at any level - it's basically a grouping of a subset of above elements. Usually a group should contain around 20-100 elements, 500 being very, very rare case. Since an element can be in multiple groups at the same time denormalization seemed to expensive. Link walking seemed a like a good idea - a single query would return all the required data. Alternatively, we were thinking about having a separate data store, possibly in memory one, and then using a multi-get (python client seem to be support it. http://basho.github.io/riak-python-client/bucket.html), but we're not sure about performance penalty. Any suggestions will be welcomed, we're not bound to any technology atm, Riak is just a possible option. -- Paweł On 13 May 2014 13:26, Alexander Grytsenko <alexander.grytse...@dev-pro.net> wrote: > BTW - i'm using python riak-python-client (v2.0.3) and it allows you to > use link walking and chaining but returns back a bucket/key/tag tuple that > allows to fetch a needed object via the secondary request. > > Will this also be deprecated? > > > > > On Tue, May 13, 2014 at 3:19 PM, Alexander Grytsenko < > alexander.grytse...@dev-pro.net> wrote: > >> >> Hi all, >> >> I'm a bit confused of this deprecation notice that is on the official >> docs.basho page that is related to a link walking explanation.
