Hi,

Now I'm curious too, according to http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/advanced/configs/configuration-files/ the default value for Erlang property last_write_wins is false, now, if 95% of the buckets/keys have no siblings (or conflict resolution), does that mean that for such buckets last_write_wins is set to true, I'm wondering what's the effect (if any) if allow_multi on a bucket is false.

In other words; I could assume that:

 * If allow_multi is true then last_write_wins will be ignored 'cause
   vclock is needed for conflict resolution?
 * if allow_multi is false then last_write_wins is true?

Correct me if I'm wrong,

Again, we have a very similar scenarios, where we create/modify keys and we are certain we have the latest version so for us last_write_wins...

Regards,

Guido.

Also,

Using last_write_wins = true, do I need to always send the vclock while on a PUT request? In the official documention it says that riak will look only at the timestamp of the requests.

Ok, from what you've said it sounds like you are always wanting to replace what is at a key with the new information you are putting. If that is the case, then you have the perfect use case for LWW=true. And indeed, you do not need to pass a vclock with your put request. And it sounds like there is no need for you to fetch-before-put since that is only to get context /resolve siblings. Curious about your use case if you can share more.

Cheers

Russell



Best regards,

    Hi Russel,

    No, it doesn't depend. It's always a new value.

    Best regards

        tl;dr

        If I guarantee that the same key is only written with a 5
        second interval, is last_write_wins=true profitable?

        It depends. Does the value you write depend in anyway on the
        value you read, or is it always that you are just getting a
        totally new value that replaces what is in Riak (regardless
        what is in Riak)?

            Hi there everyone!

            I would like to know, if my current application is a
            good use case to set last_write_wins to true.

            Basically I have a cluster of node.js workers reading
            and writing to riak. Each node.js worker is responsible
            for a set of keys, so I can guarantee some kind of non
            distributed cache...
            The real deal here is that the writing operation is not
            run evertime an object is changed but each 5 seconds in
            a "batch insertion/update" style. This brings the
            guarantee that the same object cannot be write to riak
            at the same time, not event at the same seconds, there's
            always a 5 second window between each insertion/update.

            That said, is it profitable to me if I set
            last_write_wins to true? I've been facing some massive
            writting delays under high loads and it would be nice if
            I have some kind of way to tune riak.

            Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!
