ElasticSearch's clustering is much better than Solr as well. If you're looking
for two products that both work well in a clustered, shared nothing
environment, elasticsearch + riak makes more sense than solr + riak to me.

Firstly, I would like to start off by emphasizing my appreciation for and

DeadZen,
Thanks for the email.
I think a stand-alone list for riak_core makes a lot of sense. core is
a very powerful piece of software, and more people are starting to use
it distinct of Riak. A separate list for Core might help to make it
more useful on the whole, and we do need to ensure that

Riak Users,
I'm happy to announce the first alpha release of Yokozuna. Yokozuna is a
new take on providing search support for Riak. It tightly integrates Solr
4.0.0 and the Riak master branch.
I'm very excited about Yokozuna. It brings the power of Solr search to

Devrel will depend on a working build first, so sticking with just 'make'
to see if that works will be a good first step.
If you can run 'make' and put the output in a gist or pastebin for me I can

Excellent question.

It comes down to what you want to do with it. If you want to run Riak,

Look for any activity in the LOG. Level-0 "creations" are fast and not
typically relevant. You would be most interested in LOG lines containing
"Compacting" (start) and "Compacted" (end). The time in between will throttle.
The idea is that these compaction events can pile up, one after anoth
Will check on that.
