Hi David, Look at the documentation for object deletion: http://docs.basho.com/riak/kv/2.1.4/using/cluster-operations/object-deletion/
There is also a blog post talking about this: http://basho.com/posts/technical/riaks-config-behaviors-part-3/ When deleting an object, riak will first write a tombstone value. This will by default live for 3 seconds before the object is deleted by the backend (which may create a second backend specific form of tombstone). If you do a GET on the key of the deleted object before these 3 seconds have passed, you will get a not_found as expected. However, the key will still show up in key listings, map-reduce jobs, etc. See the links above for more details. //Daniel _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
