The bucket specific settings like nval and hooks live in the ring state, afaik. So yes, you can set without having an actual key in that "bucket".

Hi,

Quick question on this: Does using the code you provided for enabling search also create the bucket if it does not exist? Does this matter? I understand the general idea is that you never need to specifically create buckets, but am wondering if setting the properties on a non-existant bucket will work. Basically we want to be sure that riak search is enabled for a bucket before we start putting any K,V's into it.

Carson,

Unfortunately the PB interface, as you discovered, doesn't support all the bucket properties. You could, however, also use the riak- erlang-http-client which has full support for all bucket properties. We realize this is a pain point and will be working to improve the PB interface in the near future. To enable the precommit hook, do something like this with the HTTP client:

Client = rhc:create(), %% use create/4 if you're not connecting to localhost
rhc:set_bucket(Client, "my_bucket", [{<<"precommit">>, [
{struct, [{<<"mod">>, <<"riak_search_kv_hook">>}, {<<"fun">>, <<"precommit">>}]}
   ]}]).

hey everyone,

i'm trying to figure out if it's possible to enable the precommit hook for a riak bucket using the erlang library. i know you can do it from a curl statement, or using the "search-cmd install". it also states on the pb-client that there's only suport for modifying 2 bucket properties, which is n_val, and allow_multi.

i was just wondering if you guys know of, or have found any work arounds to turn on riak search for a KV bucket. (i'm trying to create a bucket and then turn on the indexing from my application)

Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
