Morning, Afternoon, Evening to all, A short recap to take you into the weekend: A new Java Protocol Buffers Client, some questions from #riak, and conversation about throughput and latency.
Enjoy your weekend. Mark Community Manager Basho Technologies wiki.basho.com twitter.com/pharkmillups ---- Riak Recap for 6/24 1) @drkrab released his initial version of a Java Protocol Buffers Client for Riak. Thanks for putting some time against this, Kresten! Blog post here ---> http://www.javalimit.com/2010/06/java---riak-protocol-buffers-api.html Github repo here ---> http://github.com/krestenkrab/riak-java-pb-client Added to the Riak Wiki here ---> https://wiki.basho.com/display/RIAK/Community-Developed+Libraries+and+Projects 1a) On a general note, the Protocol Buffers activity out of the community has been awesome! Ruby and Java are now available and being worked on, with (hopefully) Clojure and C libs on the horizon. Truly great stuff! 2) Q --- I was wondering about Riak. Really interested in it. Does it have a credible backer, I can't choose something that might be gone in a few years time. (from omarkj via #riak) A (pt.1) --- It won't be gone. It's opensource code. Even if for some reason, Basho doesn't support it any more, anyone can keep improving it. (from Jedi_SCT1) A (pt.2) --- Basho Technologies is the commercial backer of Riak. http://basho.com/ and http://basho.com/contact.html might be of some use if you're looking for more information. Also, all of us here at Basho -- http://twitter.com/basho/team/members -- have no intention of ever seeing Riak disappear :) 3) Q --- Do you know if it's being widely used? ( from omarkj via #riak) A --- http://www.basho.com/customers.html is a small portion of our commercial users. There are also numerous installations of open source Riak (that we know about), one example of which would be Widescript, (http://widescript.com/) a web-based collaborative e-reading platform. 4) benblack and gotascii had a conversation in #riak about throughput, latency, and scaling. Definitely a worthwhile read.
