Wow. Jason, get out of my head. I was actually gonna go hunt through the code
to find out how exactly the chash (circular hash) function works, how Riak
knows it has N replicas and how does Riak decide where they get placed.
For example, lets say there are three pnodes (physical nodes). Accordi

My (very limited) understanding is that there is a "best effort" attempt to
distribute things wisely, but it is not guaranteed. So in the case you've
specified, no it is not guaranteed that at least two of the three replicas
will go to physically separate nodes.
I see this in my cluster of 2 no

The part where it states that 3 replicas will not necessarily go to 3
physically separate nodes very much surprised me. Is there any

Enjoy and have a great weekend.

Hi
We've started to use CouchDB earlier this year, and we go from
disappointments to failures, only to switch back to disappointment
again. We've been testing riak for a few weeks now, and we are pretty
happy with the results. But before definitely switching to riak, we have
some questions.

Hello, Antoni.
Riak handles all the distribution for you, and generally expects to
store its data to a local filesystem. You do not need or want any
sort of underlying distributed filesystem in addition to Riak.

I know Riak is a Dynamo-inspired key/value store, but I still wonder if I
can consider Riak as BigTable?
If so, I need a distributed file system like google file system?
