Erjang is a nice and fun toy, but it's too much of a hack to be useful for Riak. If you want to use a JVM-based language try Scala and leave Erlang as is :-) One of the main problems with porting Riak to other platforms is not Erlang itself, but the C/C++ code Riak uses through port drivers and NIFs. Using a JVM won't help there...
