Hi! We're working on a replacement of the old Smalltalk project hosting website http://squeaksource.com/
For this app we'd like to use Riak, using the Smalltalk client http://www.squeaksource.com/Phriak You can think of SqueakSource as a Github-like app specific to Smalltalk code. Now, my problem is we have a following/followers feature in the new app: users can follow projects. Some projects may have thousands of followers. We need to be able to get followers of a projects *and* projects followed by an user quickly. Typically, an user will follow a few projects, so this part is easily solved with links. It becomes more complicated when it comes to getting all users following a specific project, since it can be thousands, using links looks like a bad idea. I thought of the following solution, but I may be completely off the tracks: - users have links to projects they follow. - projects don't have links to the users following them, but a link to 'following/projectKey'. This object represents the relationship itself, and contains the list of the names of users following the project in a JSON array. This means following a project represents 2 writes, the user with the link, and the 'following object'. Does that seem reasonable?
