Yes - but the thought of sorting 800M records which are all about 8k in size is a little daunting... Something like a 6TB sort... Plus it doesn't answer the ongoing insert problem, which is 20 keys/sec isn't functional.

If you can insert the objects in ascending key order, then innostore will be

I'm currently working on importing a very large dataset (800M) into Riak and 
running into some serious performance problems.  Hopefully this is just 
configuration issues and nothing deeper...

Hardware -
   * 8 proc box
   * 32 Gb ram
   * 5TB disk - RAID10

Have a cluster of 4 for these boxes all running riak - riak configuration 
options that are different from stock:

   * Listening on all IP address "0.0.0.0"
   * {storage_backend, riak_kv_innostore_backend},
   * innostore section - {buffer_pool_size, 17179869184}, %% 16GB
   * innostore section - {flush_method, "O_DIRECT"}

What I see is that the performance of my import script runs at about 200...300 
keys per/second for keys that it's seen recently (e.g. re-runs) then drops to 
20ish keys per/sec for new keys.
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 3 seconds 250.75 keys/sec
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 3 seconds 258.20 keys/sec
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 4 seconds 240.11 keys/sec
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 5 seconds 177.63 keys/sec
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 4 seconds 246.26 keys/sec
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 5 seconds 184.79 keys/sec
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 5 seconds 195.95 keys/sec
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 47 seconds 21.02 keys/sec
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 44 seconds 22.63 keys/sec
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 42 seconds 23.64 keys/sec
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 43 seconds 22.88 keys/sec
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 45 seconds 22.12 keys/sec
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 43 seconds 22.83 keys/sec
STATS: 1000 keys handled in 43 seconds 23.11 keys/sec
Of course with 800M records to import a performance of 20 keys/sec is not 
useful, plus as time goes on having an insert rate at that level is going to be 
problematic.

Questions -
   Is there additional things to change for imports and datasets on this scale?
   Is there a way to get additional debugging to see where the performance 
issues are?

Thanks,
