Hi,
For the first part - we used protocol buffers because we had requests
for a PB interface from customers and as developers we have more
experience using it on other projects.
For the second part - I would recommend using the PB interface. It has
about the same performance as riak_client now and is a clean external
interface to the system that we will strive to keep backward compatible.
It's also cleaner to use as you don't need to extract any modules from
riak to use it.
We'll work on making the documentation clearer - the PB interface is new
for the 0.10 release and is still working it's way into the documentation.

BERT is used by GIthub as RPC for Ruby/Erlang integration and the

It is mainly created to avoid some of the shortcomings in Protocol
Buffer and Thrift. BERT has good support for multipe languages like
PB/Thrift. I definetly hope that for Riak, you guys would have studied
deeply before venture into PB. Do you have any writeups for choosing
PB over BERT?
This question arises when I want to talk to Riak from another elrnag
app.I am using raik_client and its dependant module for talking to
Riak from another Erlang application (it is not co-located), is that
the right way to do (I listed modules needed for native erlang RPC
here

<http://pmsenthilkumar.blogspot.com/2010/04/riak-thoughts-on-erlang-based-client.html>)?
or should I use riak-erlang-client? It is kind of not clear by looking
at various blogs and wikis or doucments included as part of Riak under
folder doc. Sorry for trying to connect 2 different questions in this
mailing list.
