Install question about riak-erlang-client

2010-12-10 Thread Xiaopong Tran
I have been working on MongoDB, and wanted to try out Riak as our system is also in Erlang. But the first installation got me stuck with an unusable client. The server is started and seems to run. So I grabbed the riakc-1.0.1 package, and it didn't even compile: x...@shanghai:~/project-workspace

Re: How do you choose riak search over map reduce vice versa?

I'd say use search whenever you can, and mapred only when the search functionality can't handle it (e.g. in a distributed system). It's much simpler, and I find mapred is not always the most optimized way to get results. Best Xiaopong On Sun, 2011-01-30 at 02:05 +1100, Joshua Partogi wrote: > Ho
