Help with local restore for dev enviroment
Hey all, I'm new to riak and I'm working on an ETL script that needs to pull data from a riak cluster. My client has sent me a backup from one of their cluster nodes. bitcask data,. rings and config. Here is what I am doing: on OSX # Install riak on my local OSX development box brew install riak #goto the default data directory setup by brew cd ~/Developer/Cellar/riak/1.3.1-x86_64/libexec/data/ # create a bitcask directory and copy the bitcask data into it mkdir bitcask cd bitcask cp -r ~/Downloads/riak/var/lib/riak/bitcask/* ./ #goto the ring directory and copy the ring data into it cd ../ring cp -r ~/Downloads/riak/var/lib/riak/ring/* ./ #goto the etc directory, delete pem files, copy over the pem files from backup cd ../../etc/ rm *.pem cp ~/Downloads/riak/etc/riak/*.pem ./ I do not believe I need to make any changes to the default vm.args or app.config files installed by brew. #run the riak-admin reip command since the hostname is different riak-admin reip r...@staging1.sjc1.x.net riak@127.0.0.1 At this point I believe I should be able to start riak and browse the data. Is this correct? How can I verify, that riak see's the data? I have no idea of the structure of the data how can I determine the structure?

Re: Help with local restore for dev enviroment
Thanks for the info!!! I appreciate the help and I am glad to know that it should just work! I don't really need the data from the whole cluster while developing the script. I just need to get my queries working etc... One issue I am facing is I don't know the structure of the data. So I am trying to browse it (http://localhost:8098/riak?buckets=true) and I getting content decode error. Any ideas? thoughts on how to troubleshoot this? Or different approaches to determining the structure? Thanks AGAIN!!!

Help... Something is wrong with my restore
Here is what I am doing: on OSX
# Install riak on my local OSX development box
brew install riak
riak start
riak-admin test
Successfully completed 1 read/write cycle to 'riak@127.0.0.1'
riak stop
#goto the default data directory setup by brew
cd ~/Developer/Cellar/riak/1.3.1-x86_64/libexec/data/bitcask/
# create a bitcask directory and copy the bitcask data into it
cp -r ~/Downloads/riak/var/lib/riak/bitcask/* ./
riak start
riak-admin test
Failed to read test value: {error,{insufficient_vnodes,0,need,1}}
I thought bitcask data just need to be copied in... and it would work??
