Riak is NOT operations-oriented. It's nearly impossible to manage operationally without dedicated staff at scale and the tools to introspect and analyze and deal with failures aren't robust enough yet. I know they're just trying to contrast Riak and Cassandra with Couch and Mongo, and that Riak is designed to shard easily without the developer having to think about it. That philosophy actually is "developer-oriented"…

Chief Architect at Basho here: Saying Riak is categorically non-operations-oriented is a bit hyperbolic, but I will be the first to acknowledge that we need even more visibility into failure-recovery / degraded mode situations. I've spoken to a few customers who have "cheat sheets" of Erlang console commands they use to debug things like handoff slowness or poor performance in general. This alone means we need to do…

We solve this by serializing our objects as binary blobs into the DB, and only using extra fields when we need an index. 2. In Mongo,…
