I'm following the instructions at 
http://docs.basho.com/riak/1.2.0/cookbooks/Erlang-Named-Functions/ to setup a 
custom hash function, how safe or not is it to assume its the same process ?

Currently when i try and PUT the bucket config to specify the new function i 
get back

{error,badarg,
        [{erlang,list_to_existing_atom,["sfdc_hash"],[]},
         {riak_kv_wm_props,erlify_bucket_prop,1,
             [{file,"src/riak_kv_wm_props.erl"},{line,304}]},
         {lists,map,2,[{file,"lists.erl"},{line,1173}]},
         {riak_kv_wm_props,accept_bucket_body,2,
             [{file,"src/riak_kv_wm_props.erl"},{line,201}]},
         {webmachine_resource,resource_call,3,
             [{file,"src/webmachine_resource.erl"},{line,169}]},
         {webmachine_resource,do,3,
             [{file,"src/webmachine_resource.erl"},{line,128}]},
         {webmachine_decision_core,resource_call,1,
             [{file,"src/webmachine_decision_core.erl"},{line,48}]},
         {webmachine_decision_core,accept_helper,0,

My .beam file is in /tmp/riak_fun, and i added {add_paths, ["/tmp/riak_fun"]}, 
to the riak_kv section in the app.config, and the .beam file is world readable.

I'm running this to set the properties
curl -v --data-binary @props.json -H Content-Type:application/json 
http://riak1.local:8098/riak/ex -X PUT

props.json contains
{"props": { "chash_keyfun":{"mod":"sfdc_hash","fun":"kv_hash_fun"} } }

Is there a more detailed log somewhere? is there an easy way to see if riak can 
actually load my .beam file?

the source for the module is very straighforward (we just want to hash on part 
of the key)

-module(sfdc_hash).
-export([extract_id/1, kv_hash_fun/1]).

extract_id(Key) ->
        case binary:match(Key,<<",">>) of
                {Pos, 1} -> binary:part(Key, 0, Pos);
                _ -> Key
        end.

kv_hash_fun({Bucket,Key}) ->
        chash:key_of({Bucket, extract_id(Key)}).

This is with riak 1.2.0 on Unbuntu.

Thanks
Simon
