Riak Ruby Client and Link Walking
Raw
gistfile1.md

Good afternoon.

For Riak 2.0, we're no longer supporting HTTP in official clients. This cuts down on the implementation size substantially[1] and means we can get client versions supporting new server features in your hands faster.

Unfortunately, there are a few features that don't have protocol buffers implementations. For example, Luwak support is already gone from the next version of the client.

Link Walking[2] is another feature that's not implemented in protocol buffers. For the uninitiated, link walking is similar to a SQL JOIN, but implemented with map-reduce jobs.

If you currently use link walking, would it be problematic to have it implemented in a separate riak-client-linkwalking client-side gem instead of on the Riak server?
