In a dream world my friend, we have Riak, PostgreSQL and Solr and might have to include a sort of query-able Big Table implementation in the future like Cassandra (we will try to avoid this last thing until we can't)

Your Graph DB will have trade off versus KV fetch in general, I don't think you have the tools you need in Riak to find the relationships per category nor the Riak advantages to do quick KV operations (data storage wise) nor cluster replication.

It won't be that simple without many trade off to build an homogeneous system.

Hi Guido,

This could be a solution; although I would try to do it in an homogeneous system where only one NoSQL DB would be around if possible :)

Thanks!

    Maybe what you are looking for is a combination of both, say, your
    KV data in Riak with a combination of background processes able to
    build the necessary searching graphs in Neo4J, in such way your
    data is secure in a Riak cluster and searchable on several Neo4J
    servers.

    That's just an idea which might be not do-able, hope it helps,

    Hi there,

    For some time already I have in mind building a kind of social
    network myself. Is pretty ambitious project although it doesn't
    have in mind to be a new facebook; but still data will be quite
    big and complex.

    I like Riak and I had been following since version 0.14, and new
    additions in Riak 2.0 seem to help a lot in how to model the
    data; although relationships will be unavoidable.

    Some friends suggested me to use Graph Databases instead. How
    would Riak compare to Graph Databases for this use case? Is it
    doable to create a social network entirely from Riak? Or may not
    be recommended?

    Thanks!
    Alex
