02:02 <rb2k> is this already stable: http://lists.basho.com/pipermail/riak-users_lists.basho.com/2010-August/001811.html ? 

02:12 <bingeldac1> rb2k: Pretty much 

02:12 <rb2k> oh, I meant "in the stable release" 

02:12 <rb2k> as in 12.0 

02:12 <bingeldac1> we should be releasing in the next few weeks 

02:12 <bingeldac1> and no 

02:12 <rb2k> ah ok 

02:13 <bingeldac1> 0.12.1 is out 

02:13 <bingeldac1> but this is in tip 

02:13 <rb2k> no builds of 12.1 for OSX as far as I see 

02:13 <bingeldac1> but has been for a but and thoroughly beat upon 

02:13 <rb2k> any news on riak search btw :) ? 

02:13 <bingeldac1> work continues 

02:14 <bingeldac1> a few people have it in their hands and we are iterating from there, 
but I don't have a general open source date 

02:15 <rb2k> I'll keep drooling then :) 

02:15 <bingeldac1> me too 

02:15 <bingeldac1> trust me 

02:16 <bingeldac1> not to mention a ton of other folks 

02:16 <rb2k> I just finished my master's thesis on a project that involved a lot of 
data storage 

02:16 <rb2k> I wish I had done this a year later 

02:16 <rb2k> would have been an easy choice :) 

02:16 <bingeldac1> hah, well hopefully you have your masters and it doesn't matter :) 

02:17 <rb2k> yeah... 

02:17 <rb2k> I still feel weird using redis + mysql + solr 

02:17 <bingeldac1> seems like a solid choice based on what is out there 

02:17 <rb2k> the list_keys operation is probably still not performant enough to do a map reduce 
over a bucket with 100 million documents 

02:17 <bingeldac1> and if you could articulate it well enough for a thesis that is awesome 

02:18 <bingeldac1> I think if you use erlang we will be there in the near future 

02:18 <rb2k> Yeah, most importantly I learned a lot (couchdb, mongodb, riak, cassandra, terrastore, ...) 

02:18 <rb2k> oh really? 

02:18 <bingeldac1> list keys is pretty fast now 

02:18 <bingeldac1> really fast 

02:18 <rb2k> I did the experiments 2-3 months ago 

02:18 <rb2k> almost killed the server I think :) 

02:18 <bingeldac1> yeah that was ages ago :) 

02:19 <rb2k> ok, I'll check the new version then 

02:19 <rb2k> we'll see what happens 

02:19 <rb2k> The good thing is that I'll start my PhD soon and I'll be a TA at my university 

02:20 <rb2k> I'll try to get a riak lab into the "ultra large sites" lecture 

02:20 <bingeldac1> where are you at? 

02:20 <rb2k> nothing big: http://www.hdm-stuttgart.de/ 

02:20 <bingeldac1> if your taing and doing a phd that is something big regardless of the school 

02:21 <rb2k> but we've got a professor focusing on scalability topics at the moment 

02:21 <bingeldac1> as long as you have an interesting thesis and don't phone it in anyway 

02:21 <rb2k> great lecture, reading and discussing the "big papers" (dynamo, ... ) and infreastructures 
of large sites (facebook, wikipedia, ...) 

02:22 <bingeldac1> awesome 

02:22 <rb2k> I think riak would fit nicely 

02:22 <bingeldac1> for sure 

02:22 <rb2k> I'll try to get the machine learning professor in there too 

02:22 <rb2k> dump something big in riak, get pretty pictures back out 

02:22 <rb2k> something like that 

02:22 <bingeldac1> I would really hit the tradeoff end of things 

02:22 <bingeldac1> I think that is what makes it interesting 

02:22 <rb2k> yeah, that's basically the result of my thesis 

02:22 <bingeldac1> :) 

02:23 <rb2k> unbeliveable what kind of stuff I saved in the beginning 

02:23 <rb2k> (webcrawler + fingerprinting project)
