22:30 <jpartogi> hi 

22:31 <jpartogi> how does riak sort the data in a bucket by default? 

22:31 <jpartogi> I am never able to get a consistent result 

22:32 <drev1> there is no sorting applied to list keys 

22:34 <benblack> if you want things sorted, you need to use a sort function 

22:34 <benblack> usually in a reduce phase 

23:10 <siculars> jpartogi: there is no native sorting in riak. when you 
do a mapreduce in riak the machine that received the request is your 
coordinator. then the map is distributed to the nodes that hold the 
data you are looking for. each of those nodes return 
the data that matched the map to the coordinator which will
apply any reduce phase. 

23:14 <jpartogi> thanks 

23:15 <jpartogi> so I have to manually sort the records using map-reduce ? 

23:15 <benblack> using sort in a reduce phase, yes. 

23:16 <jpartogi> cheers' 

23:16 <siculars> jpartogi: not to be self serving , but here , read my post on 
sorting in riak with js mapreduce
