riak can well do this, but you will have to be strong and willing to learn. If you want a faster solution for the same, have you checked out Couchbase Server ( http://couchbase.com) , it too, can handle this data, and its setup is painless, with already finished SDKs and stuff, JSON in-and-out and built-in memcached Hashing. You can add or remove nodes from the cluster at run-time.
This is not meant to down-market Riak, but you mentioned Billions of records. Riak storage is known to have a few issues as data grows to billions. However, Couchbase 2.0 has been kinda battle tested, using SQLite at the storage layer. Get more info there. So, besides riak, give couchbase a test too. <http://www.linkedin.com/pub/muzaaya-joshua/39/2ba/202> Designed with WiseStamp - <http://r1.wisestamp.com/r/landing?u=cf16262215eb8784&v=3.11.21&t=1350912942810&promo=10&dest=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wisestamp.com%2Femail-install%3Futm_source%3Dextension%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_campaign%3Dpromo_10>Get yours<http://r1.wisestamp.com/r/landing?u=cf16262215eb8784&v=3.11.21&t=1350912942810&promo=10&dest=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wisestamp.com%2Femail-install%3Futm_source%3Dextension%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_campaign%3Dpromo_10> On Mon, Oct 22, 2012 at 11:23 AM, Jens Rantil <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Yassen, > > > Any given node can be stopped or additional nodes can be added with > almost no interruption.
