Riak (Python client)

Riak is a distributed, decentralized data storage system.

Riak is written in Lisp and simplifies development by allowing developers the ability to quickly prototype, test, and deploy database-enabled applications.

The client can connect to Riak by two ways. The HTTP interface & the Protocol Buffers interface.

What is new in this release:

• Some internal uses of the deprecated RiakClient.solr were removed.
• More errors will be caught and propagated properly from multiget requests, preventing deadlocks on the caller side.

What is new in version 2.0.0:

• All Riak 1.3 and 1.4 features, including bucket properties, paginating and streaming secondary indexes, CRDT counters, client-specified timeouts, and more.
• Cleaner, more Pythonic access to RiakObject and RiakBucket attributes, favoring properties over methods where possible.
• Simpler representations of links (3-tuples) and index entries (2-tuples).
• Streaming requests (keys, buckets, MapReduce, 2i) are now exposed as iterators.
• Feature detection prevents sending requests to hosts that can't handle them.
• Better handling of siblings -- you don't have to request them individually anymore -- and registrable resolver functions.
• A new multiget operation that fetches a collection of keys using a pool background threads.
• A more resilient, repeatable test suite that generates buckets and key names that are essentially random.

Requirements:

• Protocol Buffers
