Hello, I think the documentation for multi backend could use some improvement. Once you configure Riak to use the "multi" storage backend, you must then *name* backends to be used by your bucket types:
Here is a configuration that you can use, that would create two backends, one using the memory backend that is *named* "my_memory_backend", and one using the leveldb backend that is named "my_leveldb_backend": In riak.conf: storage_backend = multi multi_backend.my_memory_backend.storage_backend = memory multi_backend.my_leveldb_backend.storage_backend = leveldb The following is an example of setting a leveldb-specific setting for the "my_leveldb_backend" named backend: multi_backend.my_leveldb_backend.leveldb.maximum_memory.percent = 70 Then, you associate your "os_cache" bucket type with "my_memory_backend" this way: riak-admin bucket-type create os_cache '{"props": {"write_once": true,"backend":"my_memory_backend","n_val":2,"r":1,"w":1,"dw":1}}' riak-admin bucket-type activate os_cache Please let me know if this resolves your issue. You may have to remove the content's of Riak's data and ring directories to overwrite your old settings. I have filed an issue in GitHub to improve the documentation for multi-backend: https://github.com/basho/basho_docs/issues/2123 -- Luke Bakken Engineer lbak...@basho.com On Wed, Jun 22, 2016 at 5:34 AM, Nagy, Attila <b...@fsn.hu> wrote: > Hi, > > Trying to use the memory backend via multi. > > What I did: > in riak.conf: > storage_backend = multi > > Then creating a bucket type: > riak-admin bucket-type create os_cache '{"props": {"write_once": > true,"backend":"memory","n_val":2,"r":1,"w":1,"dw":1}}' > riak-admin bucket-type activate os_cache > > Then I PUT an object: > curl -v -XPUT -H "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" > 'http://localhost:8098/types/os_cache/buckets/os_cache/keys/test1' -d 'test' > > Mext, I shut down all of the servers at once, leaving nothing in the > cluster, then restarting them. > And a new get for the above URL returns "test". > > When I set storage_backend to memory, it works as expected, after a full > cluster stop, the bucket is empty. > > _______________________________________________ > riak-users mailing list > riak-users@lists.basho.com > http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com _______________________________________________ riak-users mailing list riak-users@lists.basho.com http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
