What happens to your 2i indexes if you do a write and one of the nodes you're trying to write to is down?
http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/dev/using/2i/ says: - When you want or need anti-entropy. Since 2i is just metadata on the KV object and the indexes reside on the same node, 2i piggybacks off of read-repair. But http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/running/recovery/repairing-indexes/says: Riak Secondary indexes (2i) currently have no form of anti-entropy (such as read-repair). Furthermore, for performance and load balancing reasons, 2i reads from 1 random node. This means that when a replica loss has occurred, inconsistent results may be returned. I am building a solution around 2i - so I just wanted to know if there was any way to clarify these points - how resilient are these indexes? Under what circumstances will they stop working (or return inconsistent results)? -B.
