Ya, I would do appname_bucket just for legibility. That said, your application code will have to control access to bucket/keys. You could put app specific values anywhere, ie. bucket, key, headers, value. But I think the bucket would be a good place. Just remember there is no riak specific security. So any code that can send requests to riak can delete stuff. Keep that in mind. With the new stuff in 0.14 you should really think about overloading the namespace (buckets and keys) to get the most out of key selection for m/r's.
