Replying to myself, but with the solution.
After some discussion on a Scala list, I was able to get the below Scala
code to compile. There were two important changes.
1) Using StringBinIndex.named(name) to build the index rather than
StringBinIndex.Name(name), due to the interop issues.
2) Parameterising the getIndex function explicitly. Someone on the scala
list suggested that this was because the type signature of the Java client
code is not strictly correct. I will present their comments here in case
someone can confirm?
Instead of:
public <V extends RiakIndex, T extends RiakIndex.Name<V>> V getIndex(T
name)
It should be:
public <V extends RiakIndex<?>, T extends RiakIndex.Name<V>> V getIndex(T
name)
The complete Scala example for writing to a key with 2i indexing is as
follows:
(assumes "riak" is an already connected riak instance)
def storeByKeyRaw(bucketName: String, key: String, data: Array[Byte],
indexes: Map[String,String] = Map()) = {
val bucket = new Namespace("default", bucketName)
val loc = new Location(bucket, key)
val obj = new RiakObject
obj.setValue(BinaryValue.create(data))
indexes.foreach{ case (name, contents) =>
val idx = StringBinIndex.named(name)
obj.getIndexes().getIndex[StringBinIndex,StringBinIndex.Name](idx).add(contents)
}
val response = riak.execute(new
StoreValue.Builder(obj).withLocation(loc).build)
// ......
}
