Hello Friends,
For your reading enjoyment this weekend we have a number of announcements
and the delectably effervescent list review.
As always, we want to hear from you. Let me know if you’re working on or
speaking about something Riak related and would like a mention. I’ll try to
get your talk, project or blog post in the next Riak Recap. I know a guy.

## Recently Answered

Kyle Nguyen writes in with a question on programmatically creating Riak
KV bucket types [20]. Luke Bakken mentions that unfortunately that is not
supported in the API however for those who are looking for that feature you
are encouraged to support it here in this github issue [21].
-
Luke Bakken confirms Henrik Johanssons concerns that Riak will no longer
be supported on Solaris/OmniOS/Illumos in future releases [22]. Having said
that, the community is invited to package Riak for their platform of choice
[23].
-
Vikram Lalit brings to our attention a failure scenario when running
Riak on low powered VM’s [24]. Matthew Von-Maszewski points out a simple
recovery [25] and identifies additional configuration parameters [26] which
will allow you to develop/test against Riak running in low memory/low CPU
environments.
-
Henning Verbeek opens a github issue [27] regarding an
io.netty.util.concurrent.BlockingOperationException he is seeing in the
Riak Java Client [28].

[29]. In short, Riak on Docker is doable [30][31], there are concerns, and
we don’t officially support it… yet.
## Open Discussions

[32].

Norman Khine is interested in running Riak on Amazon’s recently released
Elastic File System (EFS) [36]. As it's brand new and no one has used it in
production yet, I’d venture to say time will tell... along with vigorous
testing.
-
Humberto Rodriguez is having some trouble getting Riak TS running on OSX
due to naming related issue. Magnus Kessler tries to help him out [37].
