Hi, Thanks for your reply.
I don't think that write_once is going to work for us as we have to periodically update the data (although if we remove the data before re-inserting it, would that work?) Why does read-before-write slow down new writes so much? Some new information we've found - it seems that if we write the data and then update it, we get fast speeds too. It's just the initial write of the data that is slow. So why is writing sequential keys so much slower than updating them or writing non-sequential keys? -- View this message in context: http://riak-users.197444.n3.nabble.com/How-to-increase-Riak-write-performance-for-sequential-alpha-numeric-keys-tp4034219p4034225.html Sent from the Riak Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
