How do you test the inconsistent states you will see in production when you develop with a one-node cluster? Or, for that matter on a 3-node cluster on the same box where partitioning isn't going to happen without some unusual intervention to emulate it? -- Les Mikesell [email protected] _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
