All released versions of Riak have allow_mult=false for default buckets. All release version of Riak only have default buckets. 2.0 will have allow_mult=true as default for typed buckets, and allow_mult=false for untyped/legacy buckets. Which pre did it change in? I don’t know. But certainly from pre20 it is the case. I think it would be very hard for any client to support different pre releases. Why? As stated by Eric and myself, for backwards compatibility with existing data and clusters. But the change to `true` for typed buckets is because we think that is the correct way to run Riak. > > I thought this was decided in the early days of Riak.

Originally Basho wanted allow_mult=true, I think they opted for false for ease of take up/adoption, but have since realised that Riak is safest with allow_mult=true. The back-and-forth in the press reflects I suppose the difficulty of making a decision, and also, the difficulty of doing the “right” thing after the “wrong” thing has been done.
