You mean AP, not CA. CA doesn't exist.

The Solr version in the Release Candidate is actually 4.7.0.

mnesia is indeed a frequent choice by newbies for queryable storage in Erlang, but I've found few production systems use it for similar reasons to the ones you describe. Nowadays y…

#!/usr/bin/env escript main(_) -> io:format("hello, world").

Related: Datomic can be configured to use both Zookeeper and Riak, and the implementation is really clever: immutable data in Riak and strongly-consistent "pointers" in Zookeeper. …

Since they're not likely to approve my comment on their blog, here's what I said: "Way to misrepresent[1] vector clock usage in Riak! LWW deliberately ignores the vector clock. No …

Elixir has some good things about it (hygienic macros, protocols, and so on) but the syntax is not enough by itself to make us switch. "Ugh, Erlang syntax sucks" is a refrain heard…

This is true, but Riak CS has special configuration requirements for the backing Riak cluster that might make it not the best choice for combining with your typical Riak applicatio…

That's still an oversimplification. POST only implies that the request is NOT idempotent, and that the request body is submitted to the origin server for "processing". Consider for…

@rb2k_ Here's the relevant docs: http://rdoc.info/gems/riak-client/Riak/RObject#indexes-insta... http://rdoc.info/gems/riak-client/Riak/Bucket#get_index-inst...

Apparently it's too hard to download yourself? wget http://downloads.basho.com.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com/riak/1.1/1.1.2/riak-1.1.2-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm rpm -Uvh riak-1.1.2-1.…

To what point? Already large portions of Riak (the performance-critical ones) are in C, and have been for a long time.

There will be a minor gem release (pre/beta/something) next week that supports Riak 1.0 features, then in the next major release those will also bubble up to the Ripple document la…

Yes, the problem was not necessarily using a Bloom filter, but that it was too small. However, 1.0 is smarter about which vnodes it sends list-keys requests to and thus obviates th…

That is still under debate AFAIK. The latter form would allow you to compose multiple index lookups as well, which is why I'm for it (although the query planner might not support i…

The design of secondary indexes is much simpler, more tightly integrated, and more transparent than Riak Search. It will feel more like part of the same datastore, rather than some…

On the contrary, QuickCheck is brilliant at testing stateful systems, as long as you can model the actions that occur and how they modify state (statem in eqc helps here).

Riak has been open-source and freely available since August 2009.
