12:18 <technomancy> hello, fine gentlemen 

12:19 <technomancy> got a question about mapreduce jobs and the format in 
which their arguments are provided 

12:19 <technomancy> I'd expect if you PUT with a content-type of application/json, 
the data would be passed into the map function as a javascript object rather than a string 

12:20 <technomancy> that seems to not be the case: http://p.draines.com/12865618750730d9a9e6c.txt 

12:20 <technomancy> that returns [{"class":"String","data":"\"{\\\"bar\\\":\\\"baz\\\"}\""}], for the curious 

12:20 <seancribbs> technomancy: Riak doesn't auto-parse the contents 
for you fit that's what you mean 

12:20 <seancribbs> s/fit/if/ 

12:21 <technomancy> so why does mapValuesJSON bother to check if the class is an array 
if it's always going to be a string? 

12:23 <seancribbs> technomancy: i have no idea why it would be an array at all… 
that seems broken 

12:23 <seancribbs> or at least, naive 

12:23 <seancribbs> it should be a string at all times 

12:23 <seancribbs> that is, each value 

12:25 <technomancy> ok, so it's just up to the jobs to do the parsing; gotcha 

12:26 <seancribbs> yes 

12:26 <technomancy> thanks
