Riak Java client v2.0 release candidate
This branch of the Riak Java Client is for the new v2.0 client, to be used with the upcoming Riak 2.0 (also currently in RC).
As a release candidate, minor changes may occur before final release. That said, these changes should be limited in scope and not fundamentally change the API.
The current weak point is documentation (Javadoc) which is now the main focus for release.
Overview
Version 2.0 of the Riak Java client is a completely new codebase. It relies on Netty4 in the core for handling network operations and all operations can be executed synchronously or asynchronously.
Getting started with the 2.0 client.
The new client is designed to model a Riak cluster:
The easiest way to get started with the client is using one of the static methods provided to instantiate and start the client:
List<String> addresses = new LinkedList<String>();
addresses.add("192.168.1.1");
addresses.add("192.168.1.2");
addresses.add("192.168.1.3");
RiakClient client = RiakClient.newClient(addresses);For more complex configurations, you can instantiate a RiakCluster from the core packages and supply it to the RiakClient constructor.
Once you have a client, commands from the com.basho.riak.client.api.commands.*
packages are built then executed by the client:
Namespace ns = new Namespace("default","my_bucket");
Location loc = new Location(ns, "my_key");
FetchValue fv = new FetchValue.Builder(loc).build();
FetchValue.Response response = client.execute(fv);
RiakObject obj = response.getValue(RiakObject.class);
