Somewhat of a shameless plug here: Basho is having conference in October called RICON. It's in San Francisco, and it's two days dedicated to Riak, developers, and distributed systems in production. And there will be plenty of chatter about Riak 1.2 (and 1.3).<p><a href="http://basho.com/community/ricon2012/" rel="nofollow">http://basho.com/community/ricon2012/</a>
One thing that isn't highlighted much in the release notes or blog post (but will be once I get around to updating the docs) is the addition of the new 'replace' and 'force-replace' cluster commands in Riak 1.2.<p>Have a cluster A/B/C and want to replace A with an upgraded machine Z? Bring up Z and then: cluster join Z; cluster replace A Z; cluster plan/commit.<p>Have cluster A/B/C and C irreversibly crashes? Bring up node D from backups of C, and then: cluster join D, cluster force-replace C D, cluster plan/commit. Passive read-repair (or the newer repair logic) will resolve replicas missing from the backup.
Any chance on getting indicative pricing for Enterprise.<p>I generally hate hidden pricing and using products with it because it generally means the company attempts to charge whatever it can get away with and is afraid of having their clients find or what others are paying.
With the 1.2 release, the Riak Enterprise docs are public for the first time.<p><a href="http://wiki.basho.com/Multi-Data-Center-Replication-Concepts.html" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.basho.com/Multi-Data-Center-Replication-Concepts...</a>
Basho continues to rapidly add features and improve Riak. I think they're far ahead of the competition. Frankly, I think Riak is the undiscovered gem in the NoSQL space.
