Hello All,
Here’s what’s been going on over the last few weeks. A bug fix release, a new product release, a number of talks, a bunch of questions and an open position. Hey you! Ya, you! We want to hear from you. Are you working on or speaking about something Riak related and would like to be highlighted? Send me a note, let me know what you’re up to and I’ll get your talk or blog post in the next Riak Recap. ## Announcements - Riak KV 2.1.4 has been released and is available for download [1]. This release contains fixes for the Riak init file Product Advisory and the leveldb segfault Product Advisory. Please review the Release Notes [2] for more details before upgrading. - Redis Add-on 1.1 is now available for Riak Enterprise [3]. Redis Add-on allows you to integrate Redis as a read-through or write-around cache into your data pipeline. ## Community Events - Seema Jethani, Director of Product, @seemaj, will be speaking at Data By the Bay in San Francisco on May 19th on working with time series data from the London Air Quality Network in Riak TS and other projects [4]. - Yours truly (me!) will be speaking in Dallas on May 5th about Riak TS architecture at the North Texas DAMA meetup [5]. Come say hello. - Basho Engineer Jason Voegele, @jvoegele, will be giving a talk at LambdaConf in Boulder, CO entitled “Dialyzer: Optimistic Type Checking for Erlang and Elixir” [6]. ## Recently Answered - Saran was able to fix his Solr not starting issue [7] by correcting the internal ip address in the configuration file [8]. - Because Riak is written in Erlang you are able to modify a number of config parameters without bouncing the VM. Nevertheless, there are a few parameters that can not be changed without a bump. Luke confirms Edgar’s concerns that, at the moment, changing an ip address requires a reboot of the Erlang virtual machine [9]. - Fasil is looking for ways to remotely configure bucket types [10]. Vitaly confirms that certain operations are only available via the command line and not in the API [11]. - Jim is experiencing a particular flavor of Solr timeouts [12] which Fred pinpoints to certain areas in the code and recommends making changes to hard coded timeouts [13]. Jim verifies the issue but is unhappy about making those changes, testing continues with a new JVM version [14]. - Alex was having some issues testing against his single node cluster [15]. Luke verified that the ring file needed to be reset [16]. - In case you were wondering, Riak S2 is the same as Riak CS [17]. Riak CS has been rebranded Riak S2. - Luke helps Satish work through some ulimit issues [18]. Riak noms fd’s… feed it! - Surajit found a broken link in the docs [19]. The documentation team always welcomes community feedback. If you see something - say something! [20]. - Jared is looking for enhancements to the .NET client [21]. Luke drops him an example and lets us know that enhancements are on the way in the next version [22]. - Shifeng is looking for details on how to delete and reclaim used disk in Riak [23]. Alexander (me!) answers with additional food for thought [24]. - Harjot has some requirements for his time series related project and is looking for some feedback on the Riak TS product roadmap [25]. Seema, Director of Product at Basho lets us know what’s coming up next [26]. If you have a project that needs certain features - let us know! ## Open Discussions - In this long running thread Fred drops some Erlang which gets the build times of individual partition hash trees to help debug Oleksiy’s inconsistent Solr search results [27]. - Alex is looking for advice regarding whether or not Riak TS would be better suited in certain use cases over Riak KV for his social network project [28]. - Fred asks Anil for more details on his solr duplicate records issue [29]. - Luke is looking for more information from Joe on his indexing design question [30]. - Michael is looking for some guidance on properly sizing a Riak S2 cluster [31]. ## Jobs at Basho Interested in working on distributed computing related problems?
