Not sure if this has been asked before - given a map, how does one go about retrieving the key of the map?
For example, in Riak example for map <http://docs.basho.com/riak/kv/2.0.0/developing/data-types/#maps>, a map is created with "ahmed_info" key. If we were to write a commit hook in Erlang where we want to do some kind of action based on the key, it will be helpful to have a way to extract the key. I looked in basho erlang client documentation here for map, but don't see any function to extract the key. Perhaps we have to do pattern match to extract the key? http://basho.github.io/riak-erlang-client/riakc_map.html I also see erlang libraries under riak installation (one of them "riak_object" is called in "commit hook" example in documentation) - I can check there as well if there is online documentation somewhere for them. I am thinking of storing user info as immutable maps, something like <username>_<info>_<timestamp>, and have an erlang commit hook that updates <username>_<info>_<latest> map with the latest entry. For that, we need to extract the map key.
