danlarkin # maybe this question comes up a lot, but link walking is going the wrong way for me
that is, I want documents linking to this document, not the documents to which this one links
can I do that?

garrydanger # why don't you create the links on the other documents?
danlarkin # so I've got document 1 which I insert now, and then later I insert 1-1 and 1-2, and link them both to 1
can 1 walk links to 1-1 and 1-2?

garrydanger # danlarkin: you could update the parent document with the child links after you create them of course

danlarkin # garrydanger: my problem is parallel execution.. many threads creating documents that I want to be linked -- so I don't think I can update a single document with links to all of them, since riak doesn't have a CaS operation
that I've run across, anyway


danlarkin # if there's a "right way" to handle this situation I'd like to know

danlarkin # allow_mult stores siblings only for concurrent updates, but in my situation updates could happen discretely, but still overwrite links, afaik?

garrydanger # yeah, thats a tough one
