Something tells me that Riak's current design is not well-suited for pub-sub, especially with frequent channels removing.
However, I think innostore backend can give you such functionalities. What you'll need is: 1. Add first_key and next_key functionalities to Riak itself (they'll give you the first and the next keys from the given bucket, which means first/next keys from the table on the InnoDB level) 2. Add remove_bucket functionality to Riak, which in fact will call 'DROP TABLE' on the innostore level, giving you an ability to remove buckets fast. So, your pub-sub design will look like the following: 1. Each channel has an associated bucket named "channel-ChannelName" 2. When trying to get the next message from the channel, you get the first key from the bucket and then read its value. 3. Depending on your needs, you may want to read the next key immediately or stop reading keys until the next subscriber query. 4. If you unsubscribe, you just remove the bucket using 'DROP TABLE'.
