07:42 <hoodoos> is there any way to list non empty buckets? I guess not, but still :) 

07:43 <seancribbs> hoodoos: in the erlang api yes 

07:43 <seancribbs> also in PBC i think 

07:43 <seancribbs> but, it's just as expensive as listing keys 

07:44 <hoodoos> seancribbs, well, it's for admin cases, so no matter how fast it is 

07:44 <seancribbs> gotcha 

07:44 <seancribbs> {ok, C} = riak:local_client(), C:list_buckets(). 

07:44 <seancribbs> try that from the console 

07:44 <hoodoos> okay, thanks a lot! :) 

07:45 <hoodoos> btw, is there any chance to get advice on mailing list 
about better architecture of database for some abstract task? or better not do it there? 

07:46 <seancribbs> you can ask, but it might be hard to answer in the abstract 

07:46 <seancribbs> can you give the 30-second version here? 

07:51 <hoodoos> seancribbs, it takes me kinda long to write it, i'll let you know 
when I'm finished :) 

07:51 <seancribbs> k 

07:54 <hoodoos> seancribbs, i'm ready :)) 

07:54 <hoodoos> I want to gather statistics on user requests. The data should 
contain requests it self, let's say it's a flight requests so we have e.g. Moscow 
to London route for statistics, then we need to know on which dates it was 
requested by users ( Moscow to London on 12th of December 2010 ) and we need 
to also keep when it was requested detailed by hour e.g. Moscow to London on 
12th of Decemeber 2010 flight was requested on 11th of November 2010 in 15:00. So genera 

07:54 <hoodoos> ly this system gotta answer atleast following question 
given by Route:Moscow to London, Date:12th of December 2010, which should show 
dynamics of price change for that flight, and another one is given the same params 
plus N, where N is plus minus days to find statistics on nearest flight dates. 
I couldn't really figure out how to get data stored to be able to do mapreduce queries 

07:54 <hoodoos> and gather needed information. 

07:55 <hoodoos> add to second question: showing the most recent info for prices 

07:56 <seancribbs> hoodoos: sounds like a complicated multi-variate problem 

07:57 <hoodoos> seancribbs, well i have solution in mysql, but would be great 
to solve it in RIak, I will keep thinking on that, and maybe i'll come more concrete questions 

07:57 <seancribbs> that might be difficult in Riak 

07:57 <seancribbs> although… search could help 

07:57 <seancribbs> somewhat 

07:57 <seancribbs> but how you store the data is unclear to me 

07:58 <seancribbs> (maybe because I don't know the domain very well) 

07:58 <hoodoos> seancribbs, I don't store in Riak yet, if i figure out how to 
request for it, I would store it in suffiecient way.. 

07:58 <hoodoos> or maybe begin with storing :) 

07:59 <seancribbs> from:Moscow to:London date:(2010-12-8 TO 2010-12-12) 

07:59 <seancribbs> right, best to figure out how you'll query it first 

08:00 <hoodoos> does riak ds do that kind of consulting? 

08:00 <hoodoos> enterprise ds 

08:01 <seancribbs> hoodoos: we do professional services, yes 

08:01 <hoodoos> i was considering riak for startups, but it's not super hot yet 

08:02 <hoodoos> seancribbs, once we have working solution we can migrate data to riak step 
by step, I guess that's the right course :) 

08:03 <seancribbs> yup
