riak-pb

Riak Protocol Buffer Client for Node.js.

Features:

• load balancing

Install

Include riak-pb in your dependency list or install:

$ npm install riak-pb

Use

Require

var riak = require('riak-pb');

Create Client

var client = riak();

Or, with options:

var options = {
  nodes: [
    {
      host: 'myriakhostname.acme.com',
      port: 8087 }],
  maxPool: 5,     // Maximum number of connections in the connection pool - default is 5
  maxRetries: 10, // maximum times the client tries to reconnect before failing - default is 10
  maxDelay: 2000, // maximum time (ms) between reconnections - reconnections have an exponential backoff, but limited to this value - default is 2000
};

var client = riak(options);

Access Riak

The API is based on the Riak Protocol spec, check it out to find out about what arguments you need.

put(params, callback)

Examples:

client.put({
    bucket: 'test',
    key: 'test',
    content: { 
      value: '{"test":"data"}',
      content_type: 'application/json',
      indexes: [{ key: 'test_bin', value: 'test' }] 
    } 
  },
  function (err, reply) {
    //...
    console.warn("ERr: "+JSON.stringify(err)+" Reply: "+JSON.stringify(reply));
  });

With multiple indexes:

  var indexes = [{ key: 'key1_bin', value: 'value1' }, { key: 'key2_bin', value: 'value2' }];
  var options = { bucket: 'test', key: 'test-put-index', content: { value: '{"test":"data"}', content_type: 'application/json', indexes: indexes }, return_body: true };

  client.put(options, function(err, reply) {
    //...
  });

With vector clock:

var options = { bucket: 'test', key: 'test-vclock', content: { value: '{"test":"data"}', content_type: 'application/json' }, return_body: true };
client.put(options, function (err, reply) {
  if (err) throw err;
  var options = { bucket: 'test', key: 'test-vclock', content: { value: '{"test":"data"}', content_type: 'application/json' }, return_body: true };
  options.vclock = reply.vclock;
  client.put(options, function(reply) {
    // ...
  });
});

get(params, callback)

Example:

client.get({ bucket: 'test', key: 'test' }, function (err, reply) {
  t.equal(++cbCount, 1);
  t.notOk(err, err && err.message);
  t.ok(Array.isArray(reply.content));
  t.equal(reply.content.length, 1);
  t.equal(reply.content[0].value, '{"test":"data"}');
  t.end();
});

getIndex(params, callback)

Example:

client.getIndex({
  bucket: 'test',
  index: 'test_bin',
  qtype: 0,
  key: 'test' },
  function (err, reply) {
    //...
  });

Range query example:

client.getIndex({
  bucket: 'test',
  index: 'test_bin',
  qtype: 1,
  range_min: 'abc',
  range_max: 'abcdef' },
  function (err, reply) {
    //...
  });

setBucket(params, callback)

Example:

client.setBucket('test', { allow_mult: true, n_val: 3 },
  function (err, reply) {
    /// ...
  });

getKeys(bucket, callback)

With callback:

client.getKeys('test', function (err, keys) {
  /// ...
});

Streaming:

var s = client.getKeys('test');

s.on('readable', function() {
  var key;
  while(key = s.read()) {
    console.log('got key:', key);
  }
});

search(params, callback)

With callback:

client.search({ index: 'key1_bin', q: 'test' }, function (err, reply) {
  /// ...
});

mapred(params, callback)

With callback:

var request = {
  inputs: 'test',
  query: [
    {
      map: {
        source: 'function (v) { return [[v.bucket, v.key]]; }',
        language: 'javascript',
        keep: true
      }
    }]};

var params = { request: JSON.stringify(request), content_type: 'application/json' };

client.mapred(params, function (err, responses) {
  /// ...
});

Streaming:

var request = {
  inputs: 'test',
  query: [
    {
      map: {
        source: 'function (v) { return [[v.bucket, v.key]]; }',
        language: 'javascript',
        keep: true
      }
    }]};

var params = { request: JSON.stringify(request), content_type: 'application/json' };

var s = client.mapred(params);

s.on('readable', function() {
  var res;
  while(res = s.read()) {
    console.log('got res:', res);
  }
});

del(bucket, id, callback)

del(bucket, options, callback)

client.del('test', key, function(err) {
  // ...
});

or, with options:

client.del('test', {key: key, vclock: vclock}, function(err) {
  // ...
});

Disconnect

Queues a disconnect after all the pending requests are complete

client.disconnect();

Others

• getBuckets(callback) // callback(err, buckets)
• getBucket(bucket, callback) // callback(err, bucketInfo)
• setBucket(bucket, props, callback) // callback(err)
• setClientId (client_id, callback) // callback(err)
• getClientId (callback) // callback(err, clientId)
• ping (callback) // callback(err)
• getServerInfo(callback) // callback(err, reply)

Events

The client object emits these events:

• 'error' - (err)
• 'warning' - (warning) - Emitted when there is an internal error, like a disconnection. In this case, the client will transparently attempt to reconnect (up to a limit of attempts) and a "warning" will be emitted with the underlying error object.
