After some truely horrific experiences with Riak K/V, especially combined with Riak Solr, I won't touch anything from Basho with a ten foot pole. Not sure what's going on over there, but the reality of Riak in production was miles away from what Basho's sales claimed was possible. And yes, we even spent about 4 months working with their tech support. It almost seems that "It's based on Erlang thus it scales" was the entirety of their design work. I've also worked with Cassandra and have nothing but good to say about it, did what we asked it right out-of-the-box. Datastax was really helpful as well. -- And I have no affiliation with either Basho nor Datastax, just really happy with one product and completely blown away with the poor performance of the other.
