I don't have benchmarks to discuss query performance for different tools at different sizes, but I'd like to point out that the ultimate search tool for Riak is to not search at all.
Riak Search, 2i, MapReduce are all capable tools, but they don't scale nearly as well as straight key/value requests, and it is often possible to model your data around the latter. I covered this in https://basho.com/riak-development-anti-patterns/ and the next edition of Eric Redmond's Little Riak Book (http://littleriakbook.com) will have more discussion on the topic, but if at all possible, create your query results as reports as the data is ingested, instead of attempting to find it all later. -John On Wed, Aug 20, 2014 at 3:21 PM, Alex De la rosa <alex.rosa....@gmail.com> wrote: > Any thoughts about this? > > One thing it worries me about Riak Search is that if one index has several > millions of object to search for maybe it becomes slow? 2i might be faster > then? > > Thanks! > Alex > > > On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 8:47 AM, Alex De la rosa <alex.rosa....@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hi there, >> >> I had been seeing lately Riak Search as an ultimate way to query Riak... >> and it seems recommended to use over MapReduce and even 2i... said so... >> should we try to always use Riak Search over the other systems? >> >> Is there any situation in which MapReduce could be a better approach than >> Riak Search? >> >> Same goes for 2i...
