Random idea around extending riak-js to support automatic prefixing of bucket names. Could come in handy for a riak database in use by multiple applications.

riak-bucket-prefixing.js

var riakClient = require("riak-js/client");
var riakHttpClient = require("riak-js/http_client");

riakClient.prototype.bucketPrefix = "";
riakClient.prototype.getBucketName = function(name) {
  var prefix = "";
  if (this.bucketPrefix) prefix = this.bucketPrefix + "_";
  return prefix + name;
};

var oldGet = riakHttpClient.prototype.get;
riakHttpClient.prototype.get = function(bucket, key) {
  var options = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 2);
  var args = [this.getBucketName(bucket), key];
  return oldGet.apply(this, [this.getBucketName(bucket), key, options.map(args.push)]);
};


var db = require('riak-js').getClient({
  host: "127.0.0.1",
  port: 8091
});

db.bucketPrefix = "!!!";

console.log(db.get("stuff", "things"));
