Riak Real Time Use Case Suitibility

Hi Everyone I'm new to Riak and was hoping someone might be able to give me some advice with how well suited Riak is to large data sets queried in real time. My potential use case is similar to the idea of storing the json for Twitter tweets in one bucket and then the json for the author of the t

Riak on VM's

Hi Basho people, I need to get some info about user Riak on VM's . We intend to use Riak as the backed for a user session store . We have tested on EC2 and determined the following : Using a cluster of 5 x EC2's m1.xlarge instances. (4 cores, 15GB memory). w /256 partitions w/ Bitcask : At 100K

Re: RiakError: timeout

Hi Massimiliano, As a first step I would recommend setting pb_backlog to 64 or 128 in your app.config How are you distributing the load from your python clients to the Riak cluster? Is every python client connecting directly to one Riak node or do you have a pool of Riak servers configured in eac

Re: Partitions placement

Hi Daniel, target_n_val can be changed at any time and will take effect at the first iteration of the claim algorithm [0] (which usually runs whenever you add/remove nodes from the cluster via the riak-admin command) On default settings, Riak is able to replicate data to distinct nodes in all clu

Re: RiakError: timeout

An explicit RiakError with 'timeout' as the string usually indicates that the server replied with that text in the response. You might need to check that the node(s) you are connected to aren't overloaded or having other issues. You can also make the timeout higher than the default 60sec by passing

Re: Riak Real Time Use Case Suitibility

James, In general, I think this is a reasonable approach (for some reasonable value of "real time"). A couple of questions. Do you mean to use a standalone Solr instance, or the Yokozuna project (Solr integrated with Riak, in Riak 2.0)? (You can read about its usage here: http://docs.basho.com/ri

Riak node down after ssd failure

Hello all! I have a 6 machine cluster with leveldb as backend, using riak 1.4.8 version. Today, the ssd of one of the machine's has failed and is not recoverable, so I have already ordered a new one that should arrive by thursday! In the meanwhile what should I do? I have no backup of the old ss

Re: Riak node down after ssd failure

Probably the easiest thing would be to wait until the new machine is ready to join, add it with a nodename distinct from that of the last one, and force-replace the new node for the old, dead one. On Tue, Mar 18, 2014 at 1:03 PM, Edgar Veiga wrote: > Hello all! > > I have a 6 machine cluster with

Re: Riak node down after ssd failure

Thanks Evan! Is it really imperative that the name should be != than the old one? Best regards — Sent from my iPhone On Tue, Mar 18, 2014 at 8:47 PM, Evan Vigil-McClanahan wrote: > Probably the easiest thing would be to wait until the new machine is > ready to join, add it with a nodename

Re: Cleaning up bucket after basho_bench run

Hi, I was trying to delete all of the keys generated with the following: {key_generator, {int_to_bin, {uniform_int, 1000}}}. I have used this for the deletion: {key_generator, {int_to_bin, {partitioned_sequential_int, 1000}}}. I has completed but unfortunately was not deleting any data
