new cluster -- riak starts and dies on each vm.

2013-09-15 Thread Daniel Rathbone
I'm setting up a new small riak cluster - 8 VMs, 4GB each. Riak starts and dies after a few seconds on each VM. I'd like to figure out why. I'm running riak 1.4.1, built from source on ubuntu 12.04 (32 bit). I have AAE and search turned off and my backend is set to leveldb. Ring size is 64. All th

Hi group, I've been happily using Riak in production on VMs for years. It's time to scale up so I'm running performance tests with basho_bench and my own app code on a new VM cluster. Here's an example question I'd like to answer: will a cluster perform better with 5 VMs at 8gb each, or 10 VMs a

I'm trying out 2i, and I'm having a little trouble similar to this old thread. I don't see any keys returned when I try and query a secondary index. My storage_backend is set to riak_kv_eleveldb_backend. I seem to have added values to the secondary index well enough - I can see a header "X-Riak-

That cleared it up, thanks! Indeed, I was trying to add the index k/v as regular meta in the headers. On Mon, Jan 9, 2012 at 12:37 AM, Russell Brown wrote: > Hi Daniel, > > On 9 Jan 2012, at 08:22, Daniel Rathbone wrote: > > I'm trying out 2i, and I'm having a littl
