Morning, Afternoon, Evening to all, As you'll soon realize, this Recap is downright exceptional! We have slides, more production users, blog posts, photos, new code, webinars and enough quality Gists to last you a few days.
Enjoy, and have a great weekend. Mark Community Manager Basho Technologies wiki.basho.com twitter.com/pharkmillups ---- Riak Recap for 9/15 - 9/16 1) Several days ago Justin Sheehy and Bryan Cantrill gave a webinar on NoSQL DB performance in the cloud. This one is great and has some illustrative benchmark numbers from some thorough testing of Riak Smartmachines. Listen and watch here ---> http://blog.basho.com/2010/09/16/nosql-performance-in-the-cloud-webinar/ 2) We added another user -- We Geo -- to the "Who is Using Riak Page" on the Wiki. Check it out here ---> http://wiki.basho.com/display/RIAK/Who+is+Using+Riak Thanks to Ken, Jimmy, and the rest of the team at We Geo for sharing! 3) Artur Krzywanski wrote up a great overview of getting Riak running on EC2. Post here --->http://www.krzywanski.net/archives/641 Thanks, Artur. 4) @sj_mackenzie is working on an interesting chunk of code called "Earlybrew." It's definitely worth checking out, especially if "you're looking for cappuccino on the uptimes of Erlang/OTP, simplicity of Webmachine and bomb proofness of Riak." Repo here ---> http://bitbucket.org/sj_mackenzie/earlybrew 5) Some photos surfaced from the August Riak Meetup in San Francisco. Viewable here ---> http://www.flickr.com/photos/davefayram/sets/72157624848113597/ Special thanks to Dave Fayram (@kirindave) for making this happen! 6) I added some new slides to the list available on the wiki. The deck is called "Riak from the Inside" and was used at Erlang Factory some months ago by Justin Sheehy. You're not going to want to miss these if you haven't already seen them. At the bottom of the page here ---> https://wiki.basho.com/display/RIAK/Slides 7) Q --- Is anyone using riak in production? (from jpartogi via #riak) A --- See http://www.basho.com/customers.html and http://wiki.basho.com/display/RIAK/Who+is+Using+Riak 8) seancribbs and outerim had a long and content-filled conversation in #riak that stared with "if allow_mult is not set on a bucket what happens with 2 conflicting writes?" Gist here ---> http://gist.github.com/584539 9) jpartogi and seancribbs had a short exchange about whether or not range queries were possible in Riak via MapReduce and whether or not there were plans to make MapReduce built in to ripple rather than calling the Riak client. Gist here ---> http://gist.github.com/584548 11) danlarkin, seancribbs and hemulen had a convo about MapReduce performance and how the number of nodes affects it for certain queries. Gist here ---> http://gist.github.com/584552 12) technoweenie asked "how can i simulate a riak version conflict to test conflict resolution?" Resulting conversation here ---> http://gist.github.com/584557 13) mheld started a great conversation about use cases and DB functionality when he asked "Why would one use riak over mongodb?" Gist here ---> http://gist.github.com/584572 14) seancribbs and jpartogi had a brief chat about indexing with a k/v store and multitenancy in Riak.
