19:14 <outerim> Is there any practical limit to the number of prefixes one can use with riak? 

19:14 <outerim> hornbeck: ^^ 

19:14 <benblack> prefixes? 

19:15 <outerim> ie /prefix/bucket/key 

19:16 <outerim> maybe I have been misinformed, I don't recall reading about prefixes in the docs now that I 
think about it 

19:16 <outerim> are all buckets below /riak 

19:17 <benblack> they are below whatever you set as the root for riak, yes 

19:17 <benblack> that defaults to riak 

19:17 <outerim> benblack: gotcha, so a single root 

19:18 <tinomen> I can't find anything in the docs about the prefix. Is it a hardcoded path 
element or can  you create prefixes similar to vhosts in rabbitmq 

19:19 <outerim> tinomen: I believe it's a hardcoded prefix for all riak buckets now that I think 
about it 

19:19 <tinomen> ah, ok. 

19:19 <benblack> it's not hard coded 

19:19 <benblack> raw_name 

19:19 <benblack> in app.config 

19:33 <benblack> tinomen: the equivalent of a vhost in this model would be the bucket, really. a vhost 
scopes exchanges as a bucket scopes keys. 

19:35 <tinomen> I must be rusty in my rabbit. I had thought it was vhost(queue(exchange))) but what 
you said sounds correct 

19:37 <tinomen> I was hoping the prefix was offering a third hash level prefix(bucket(key)) where I 
could set the prefix as a user scope 

19:37 <benblack> riak does not have provision for multi-tenancy like that
