Riak Database Preparation

FMKe configuration: {target_database, riak}.

The existing Riak driver for FMKe makes some assumptions on the type of buckets and bucket types available. To run a full cluster of Riak nodes to which FMKe can connect to, you need to activate the "maps" and "sets" bucket types, which allow us to store different FMKe entities in different bucket types.

Follow the instructions here in order to activate the required bucket types.

Aside from the FMKe specific assumptions, you can follow the official Basho documentation for configuring and deploying a Riak cluster

Note that different configurations of the cluster (e.g. read/write quorum size) may significantly impact cluster performance. In order to get a relevant performance reading, use a configuration that closely resembles that which you may need to use. Use the metrics you obtain to compare with other supported data storage solutions under similar circumstances in order to effectively determine which storage solution is best for your particular needs.
