Have a great weekend! Mark Community Manager Basho Technologies wiki.basho.com twitter.com/pharkmillups ----- Riak Recap for 6/30 - 7/1 1) Fracnk Cuny released the 0.5 version of his Net-Riak Client.

Latest changes are here ---> http://pypi.python.org/pypi/riak/1.1.1 3) Basho announced a new webinar called "Schema Design for Riak." This one will be a great resource for anyone looking to gain some insight from several members the core Riak team on how to understand your schema, plan more efficient queries, and structure your data when writing an application against Riak. Blog post and registration here ---> http://blog.basho.com/2010/06/30/free-webinar---schema-design-for-riak---july...@-2pm-eastern/ 4) justinsheehy and kstt had a great conversation in #riak about the state of large file support in Riak and what the current limitations are. Gist here ---> http://gist.github.com/461387 5) Q --- How much memory does the Riak generated key take usually take up? this is for planning purposes, on using Bitcask and #of keys per node. For instance, if I don't specify a key, and have RIak generate one for me. (from danoyoung via #riak) A --- The funcition that generates the key is here ---> http://hg.basho.com/riak/src/tip/apps/riak_core/src/riak_core_util.erl#cl-126 Also this conversation form a few weeks back -- http://gist.github.com/438065 --- has some useful information. 6) Q ---How can I do a mapred call over more than one bucket? What I want to achieve is to grab both a record and its relations in one go, is that possible at all? (from mauritslamers via #riak) A --- Running MapReduce over items in more than one bucket is straighforward. Simply send whatever bucket/key pairs you wish to the query. However, if the data in your different buckets is formatted differently this may require a carefully-crafted map function. As for the second question, it's a bit trickier without having more context. In Riak, you can get everything linked from an object by specifying a link query to get everything linked from said object. For starters, I would check out this section on the Riak Wiki if you haven't already done so ---> http://wiki.basho.com/display/RIAK/REST+API#RESTAPI-Linkwalking _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
