misaka # Hiyas. Have a Q about riak ...How good durable is it in a single node setup? If I use Innostore, can I assume it'll be as durable as, say, MySQL? s/good // Everything I read talks about distributed durability, which makes sense, but my app is going to start off with only one node and I really don't want to lose any data.
seancribbs # misaka: we err on the side of writing to disk. So unless you use a memory-based backend, your data is written reliably. what you don't get in a single-node setup is availability/fault-tolerance since there's only one
misaka # Hey Sean. Thanks for that. That's what I was hoping for.
