I work for Comcast Interactive Media, and we've been using Riak (with Bitcask) as the primary data store for one of our production systems for about 6 months. another group at Comcast recently launched a Riak/Bitcask cluster into production also, but I don't know the details of their setup. we're storing well over 20GB of data, with a significant amount of load, although nothing insane. we've had zero problems -- our only issue is a lack of visibility into our keyspace since we use a single Riak bucket and are hesitant to list all of our keys via HTTP. we're working on a way to do that offline via directly scanning copies of the Bitcask files. we switched from Innostore to Bitcask at Basho's recommendation and it seems like the right choice, even just to avoid the hassle of having to build Innostore separately (and patch it since we use Solaris). hopefully this helped. -matt _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
