Hello Friends, For your reading enjoyment this weekend we have a number of announcements and the delectably effervescent list review.
As always, we want to hear from you. Let me know if you’re working on or speaking about something Riak related and would like a mention. I’ll try to get your talk, project or blog post in the next Riak Recap. I know a guy. ## Announcements - Riak TS 1.3.1 has been made available and is a bug fix release, get it while it’s hot. [0][1]. - Riak NodeJS Client 2.2.2 fixes a few bugs including Solr return decoding [2][3]. - Riak Erlang Client 2.4.1 supports TS and OTP 19 [4][5]. - Riak Python Client 2.5.4 fixes a couple of bugs found while testing Riak TS and and addresses the issue of time zones when datetime objects are stored in Riak TS [6][7]. - Riak .NET Client 2.4.0 Beta 2 adds TTB support for TS operations [8][9]. - Riak TS LevelDB Expiry Beta 1 brings a rudimentary implementation for expiry to LevelDB. This code is NOT for production use. Please use this list to register your feedback. [10][11]. - We are looking for community feedback on ending support for Java 7 in the client library. Please share your thoughts in Riak Java Client Github issue 635 [12]. ## Community Code and Walkthroughs - Craig Vitter has been announced as a speaker [13] at All Things Open [14] October 26-27 in Raleigh, NC. - Stephen Etheridge pens a blog on our site entitled “How we built an Electric Racing Demo showcasing the Potential of Riak TS” [15] where he walks through how he built a TS demo with a micro-Scalextric car set. ## Jobs at Basho Interested in working on distributed computing related problems or helping our community with theirs? We’re hiring, here are a few of our open positions. Check out the rest [16]. - Client Services Engineer (USA) [17]. - Developer Advocate (London and US) [18]. - Solution Architect [19]. (Join Basho as a Solution Architect and you get to work with me! What could be better than that?) Yes, we do remote! ## Recently Answered - Kyle Nguyen writes in with a question on programmatically creating Riak KV bucket types [20]. Luke Bakken mentions that unfortunately that is not supported in the API however for those who are looking for that feature you are encouraged to support it here in this github issue [21]. - Luke Bakken confirms Henrik Johanssons concerns that Riak will no longer be supported on Solaris/OmniOS/Illumos in future releases [22]. Having said that, the community is invited to package Riak for their platform of choice [23]. - Vikram Lalit brings to our attention a failure scenario when running Riak on low powered VM’s [24]. Matthew Von-Maszewski points out a simple recovery [25] and identifies additional configuration parameters [26] which will allow you to develop/test against Riak running in low memory/low CPU environments. - Henning Verbeek opens a github issue [27] regarding an io.netty.util.concurrent.BlockingOperationException he is seeing in the Riak Java Client [28]. - Adam Winter starts a lengthy conversation on Docker support for Riak [29]. In short, Riak on Docker is doable [30][31], there are concerns, and we don’t officially support it… yet. ## Open Discussions - Jubin Juneja is looking for help updating a an index with a new schema [32]. - Marcin Skoczylas is looking for some insight on the growth of processing queues within Riak [33]. - Michael Gnatz may have found a bug in Riak TS, Gordon Guthrie asks Michael to file a bug report [34]. - Guido Medina is looking for word on an updated Java client library that supports Netty-4.1.x [35]. - Norman Khine is interested in running Riak on Amazon’s recently released Elastic File System (EFS) [36]. As it's brand new and no one has used it in production yet, I’d venture to say time will tell... along with vigorous testing. - Humberto Rodriguez is having some trouble getting Riak TS running on OSX due to naming related issue. Magnus Kessler tries to help him out [37].
