Thanks, yes, using the console to do something that uses the module let it work. Although that's going to be a pain as far as automated deployment goes.

Most likely this is because your .beam file is in the path but not loaded, meaning list_to_existing_binary/1 will until you load the file in an alternative way. I'm not sure how the "{add_paths, _}" config setting works, but assuming it just wraps around the code module you can try to attach to the riak console and run "code:ensure_loaded(sfdc_hash)." and try to update the bucket props again. 2013/4/24 Simon Fell <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> 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.
