I think this is covered by a feature I'm adding, if I understand what you're
asking for. Does this example give you the values you want?
Say in current riak the query you might do would be
curl localhost:8098/buckets/your_bucket/index/catalog_bin/1000/2000
would get you a list of keys. In 1.4 there'll be the option to get the index
values as well, so the results would be an array of pairs like {results:
["1001" : "primary_key"]} where the first element is the value of catalog_bin
index and the second the primary key of the object.
Is that what you're asking for?
Cheers
