Re: measuring gossip bandwidth

Hi Damien, This one flew by unanswered. After speaking with a friend internally, I hear that the boundary plugin [1] picks this up and shows it nicely. I would use that with a basho bench run (How to here [2]) to get a sense of what the network traffic profile looks like. It is usually quite a b

Re: Advice on making a Riak middleware easy to configure

Marc, Our side conversation starts to help, but I'm sure there's more to discuss here. I believe you want to know: what configuration assumptions about Riak can be made before connecting into apiman vs what functionality does apiman have to support? If you're looking to start simple, I'd think beg

Re: Discrepancies between /stats http endpoint and riak-admin stat show metrics...

Hi John, I believe I saw this conversation over IRC. Sean responded saying "those measure at different layers, seems reasonable to me. I mean, your 100% is bad... but those numbers seem to make sense to me." Did you end up finding the clarity you need here? It'd be helpful to hear the details.

Re: bucket-types: renaming and deleting

Hi Jonathan, There is unfortunately no way to delete a bucket. More on that later. If you are in a prototyping phase and are willing to stop Riak, you would stop services and delete the data stored in whatever backend you're using (/var/lib/riak/bitcask for example). Alternatively, there is this
