erlang-http-client and riak::search
Hi All, I'm working on an erlang client of the riak::search functionality built into riak-1.1.2. While I do see the support for querying data that is already indexed (rhc:search), I do not see how to index and/or remove data from the database. I do see this functionality in other clients, such as ruby or the raw HTTP/SOLR interface, so I know its technically possible on the backend Am I just missing something, or is the erlang client for riak::search not yet feature complete? If its not, I would be willing to submit some patches to help bring it up to speed, but I figured I would ask in case I am just looking in the wrong places.

Re: Security risk of clients having access to vector clocks

I can't comment on what might be at risk from a Riak perspective, but as a general comment you could combat client-side tampering using crypto (perhaps you have already considered this option, I am not sure). For instance, you could attach an HMAC to the vector clock before returning it client side as a token, and then validate the HMAC when the token is passed back to you in the future. This will add overhead for both generating and validating the token, but it could alleviate exposure against db tampering. (Note that an HMAC alone will not protect you from replay of a previously issued vclock+HMAC, however. For that you will need to be more clever). Generally, I prefer to handle this stuff server side attached to the session, which I know isn't "RESTful", but it is easier to solve the security problems this way. Good luck! -Greg > ___ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
Riak 0.14.* and Erlang 14B03
Hi All, I have run into the build problems with Riak and the latest Erlang. I have also seen the github commits to understand that others have seen this too and a fix is on the way (0.14.2 presumably?). But that aside, I found this problem when I, of course, upgraded my system to 14B03 which has both riak.git and riak-0.14.1.rpm installed. What I was perhaps more surprised by was that my already compiled riak.rpm now seems to have stopped working and I don't know why, but I suspect it was coincident with the erlang upgrade (1). So my question is: Would we expect run-time errors with riak-0.14.1 binaries against 14B03, or is something else going on here? FWIW: I tried blowing away my /var/lib/riak and /var/log/riak files in hopes that I could get passed this problem (its just development data) but no luck. "service start riak" says "ok", but I do not get any logs (that I can see) nor do I see the beam.smp running. Any help appreciated. [1] note that I also saw sasl high-water memory errors in the logs in the days leading up to the upgrade and eventual death, so there is a possibility it is related to this as well.

Cool. Out of curiosity, is there a 0.14.3 expected on the near horizon?

Just to be clear: are there any plans to cut a release with the 14B03 fixes in it anytime soon (perhaps 0.15, etc..I don't care if it is literally another 0.14 point release per se). FWIW, I am dead in the water w.r.t. Riak until this is fixed.

I blew away the data/logs in the hope that either the something in the data was causing the immediate shutdown, or that some newly minted logs would reveal the problem. Neither seemed to work, it just silently dies. -Greg > Andrew > > ___ > riak-users mailing list > riak-users@lists.basho.com > http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com > ___ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
