Hi Russell,

In your reply, you mentioned this,

>> There is also the feature that can return the actual riak objects for a
$keys index search,
>>You can pack the index terms with data and return the terms in a query so
that you don’t need a further object fetch (see >>return_terms in docs.)

If I understood correctly, it is possible to fetch object (value) by 2i in
one time. But, we have tried using "return_term = true", it returns the
index with key comparing only key when not using "return_term=true".  It
doesn't help much with extra index, what we want to achieve is to fetch the
object in one time.


Our use case,  client search DB every 10 seconds by 2i, Riak will return a
list of around 5000 results(Keys), then client will query DB to fetch value
for each key, basically it is around 5000 times,  client is easy to run
into some issues most of the time. Any suggestion here ?

Many thanks in advance.

Br,
Alex
