Let's talk about Riak data types for a moment. Riak data types are collectively implementations of what academia refer to as CRDT's (convergent or conflict free replicated data types.) The key benefit a CRDT offers, over a traditional KV by contrast, is in automatic conflict resolution. The various CRDT's provided in Riak have specific conflict resolution strategies. This does not come for free. There is a computational cost associated with CRDT's. If your use case requires automated conflict resolution strategies than CRDT's are a good fit. Internally CRDT's rely on vector clocks (see DVV's in the documentation) to resolve conflict.
Considering your ETL use case I'm going to presume that your data is immutable (I could very well be wrong here.) If your data is immutable I would consider simply using a KV and not paying the CRDT computational penalty (and possibly even the write once bucket.) The CRDT penalty you pay is obviously subjective to your use case, configuration, hw deployment etc. Hope that helps! -Alexander @siculars http://siculars.posthaven.com Sent from my iRotaryPhone > On Oct 20, 2015, at 12:39, Dennis Nicolay <dnico...@orcawave.net> wrote: > > Hi Alexander, > > I’m parsing the file and storing each row with own key in a map datatype > bucket and each column is a register. > > Thanks, > Dennis > > From: Alexander Sicular [mailto:sicul...@gmail.com] > Sent: Tuesday, October 20, 2015 10:34 AM > To: Dennis Nicolay > Cc: Christopher Mancini; riak-users@lists.basho.com > Subject: Re: Using Bucket Data Types slowed insert performance > > Hi Dennis, > > It's a bit unclear what you are trying to do here.
