That doesn't much make sense to me at all. Also, have you tried getting the HEAD? Vclock comes out in the meta, but it and the entire body are read off disk. Cheers, Alexander Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -Original Message- From: Andrew Berman Sender: riak-users-boun...@

Search the list for a lengthy discussion on very large ring_creation_size. I'm wagering that 2048 is too large. If you can't imagine having more than 50 physical nodes your size should not be more than 512. Cheers, Alexander Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -Original Message-

Re: Searching and sorting with mapreduce or solr?

2011-05-02 Thread siculars
Riak m/r is a scan operation. Solr is an indexed operation. By definition an indexed operation will be faster than a scan operation. Just something to keep in mind. You also mention "search by field" but Riak is opaque to values so I will just assume your values are json (not to say that you c

Ill just chime in and say that this is not practical for a few reasons. The largest known riak cluster has like 50 or 60 nodes. Afaik, inter node communication of erlang clusters top out at a few hundred nodes. I'm also under the impression that each physical node has to have enough file descrip

Riak does not do locks. Locking is a fundamental use case mismatch in the Riak world. Don't do it. Don't shoehorn Riak (or any other product) into a use case it is not meant to support. Rework your application to make use of Riaks eventually consistent model or don't use Riak. Otherwise bewa

All things being equal (which is atarded[0] because I don't know squat about your use case), I would go with choice #2. Main concern would be multiple failures before read repair could be executed via #1. Depending on data size this could take a long time. Summary: 1. Potential data loss d
