Hello Friends,
For your reading enjoyment this weekend we bring you the Basho Academy a community client library and, as always, the mailing list recap. As always, don’t be shy, let us know your thoughts. If you’re working on or speaking about something Riak related and would like a mention. I’ll get your talk, project or blog post in the next Riak Recap. I have connections. ## Announcements - Basho is pleased to bring you the Basho Academy [0], a series of self paced, tutorial style lessons on Riak development and administration. In a blog post [1], Justin Pease walks through the motivation for developing the Basho Academy and what to expect from the Academy going forward. - Luke Bakken released Riak Python Client 2.5.5 [2][3]. This fixes a long standing issue with multi-get and multi-put operations where the thread pool did not shut down cleanly when the interpreter shuts down. Remember to "close()" your RiakClient instances to ensure cleanup [4]. ## Community Code and Walkthroughs - Jason Voegele will be giving a talk entitled “Dialyzer: Optimistic Type Checking for Erlang and Elixir” [5] at ElixirConf [6] in Orlando, FL Aug 31 - Sept 2. - Drew Kerrigan updates the community driven Riak Elixir Client adding Riak TS support [7]. ## Jobs at Basho Interested in working on distributed computing related problems or helping our community with theirs? We’re hiring, here are a few of our open positions. Check out the rest [8]. - Client Services Engineer (USA) [9]. - Developer Advocate (London and US) [10]. - Solution Architect [11]. (Join Basho as a Solution Architect and you get to work with me! What could be better than that?) Yes, we do remote! ## Recently Answered - Travis Kirstine writes in with a question [12] on ram utilization in bitcask. Luke Bakken points out that the bitcask calculator [13] outputs a minimum ram requirement. Riak and your OS will happily eat ram as load increases. Noms. - Henning Verbeek asks about how best to store arbitrarily large Java objects [14]. Alex Moore and Russell Brown offer some guidance. - Guillaume Boddaert is looking for cursor mark support in Solr [15]. A future update to Riak, already being worked on, will include an update to Solr which has this feature. - Vikram Lalit is looking for some clarification on expected behavior when playing with n, r and w values [16]. Tom Santero points out that increasing the n val is generally safe, decreasing it may not be. ## Open Discussions - Magnus Kessler helps “!” with a some high I/O concerns [17]. “!”, please add some more info to your request! - Hawk Newton is looking for some guidance on how best to detect Hinted Handoff programmatically vs parsing the command line output [18]. - Chris Johnson runs into an overload error in Riak TS [19] and continues a conversation on how best to deal with it, take a look at the github issue [20]. - Jubin Juneja is looking for help updating a an index with a new schema [21]. - Marcin Skoczylas is looking for some insight on the growth of processing queues within Riak [22]. - Michael Gnatz may have found a bug in Riak TS, Gordon Guthrie asks Michael to file a bug report [23]. - Guido Medina is looking for word on an updated Java client library that supports Netty-4.1.x [24].
