Thanks, all. I think my issues at this time boil down to a difference between how I can interact with a running riak system using the shell in riak-admin attach, and using another shell to contact the running system. So, for example, following the README file, this works fine (shell prompts omitted):
RiakNode = 'r...@123.456.78.90'. {ok, C} = riak:client_connect(RiakNode). {ok, Terms} = file:consult("/path/to/file"). Term = hd(Terms). Object = riak_object:new(<<"oai_test">>, <<"AEP-WYS97">>, Term). C:put(Object,1). {ok, O} = C:get(<<"oai_test">>, <<"AEP-WYS97">>, 1). V = riak_object:get_value(O). V. {oai_dc,"AEP-WYS97", {{2004,10,28},{17,21,25}}, ["aep"], "/storage/aep2003/metadata/oai_dc/oai_dc-AEP-WYS97.xml"} element(2, V). "AEP-WYS97" The above proves that I can put and get an erlang term. Now let's try this: erl -pa /usr/local/riak-0.13.0/rel/riak/lib/riak_core-0.13.0/ebin /usr/local/riak-0.13.0/rel/riak/lib/riak_kv-0.13.0/ebin /usr/local/riak-0.13.0/rel/riak/lib/riakc-1.0.1/ebin /usr/local/riak-0.13.0/rel/riak/lib/protobuffs-0.5.0/ebin 1> {ok,Pid} = riakc_pb_socket:start_link("128.135.53.253", 8087). {ok,<0.33.0>} 2> {ok, C} = riakc_pb_socket:get(Pid, <<"people">>, <<"chas">>). {ok,{riakc_obj,<<"people">>,<<"chas">>, <<107,206,97,96,96,96,204,96,202,5,82,44,236,70,107,239, 100,48,37,50,230,177,50,...>>, [{{dict,3,16,16,8,80,48, {[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],...}, {{[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],[],...}}}, <<"Charles Blair">>}], undefined,undefined}} 3> {ok, C} = riakc_pb_socket:get(Pid, <<"oai_test">>, <<"AEP-WYS97">>). =ERROR REPORT==== 27-Oct-2010::16:34:48 === ** Generic server <0.33.0> terminating ** Last message in was {tcp_closed,#Port<0.913>} ** When Server state == {state,"128.135.53.253",8087,false,false,undefined, undefined, {[],[]}, 1,[],100} ** Reason for termination == ** disconnected ** exception exit: disconnected 4> In step 2 I can retrieve a key whose value is a string.
