Saw an great introduction to Riak tonight. It is really an amazing product that is moving very fast. There where some surprises that I didn't realize that came along with the decentralized model. One of which is the inability to do averages. It is also very impressive how robust and potentially scalable Riak is. After the presentation I asked some of the more common questions and found out some things.
Pre and post commit hooks
Sounds like they are close to actually adding a pre and post commit hook. In RDBMS we would call these triggers. This came up when I was asking about making indexes easier to manage.
Distributed Indexes
I had read somewhere that they had been working on full index searches that worked just like all the other data stored in Riak. So I asked a bit more if that would also support regular indexes on that data so that performance could be greatly improved. The answer was it is in development but it will be a while before a production release is ready.
Very exciting stuff. I am hoping to continue learning Riak and using it with my Python and Javascript projects.
