Basho Riak Data Store Reaches 0.11

Riak 0.11 is out now.

With this release, Basho’s key/value store ‘Bitcask’ is used as the default backend for Riak, and map/reduce support has been added to the protocol buffer’s client interface.

A new mechanism has been introduced for put operations using the local erlang client that request returnbody, which means the put operation now returns the body directly. Riak 0.11 also creates a ring directory if non-existent and provides the default content-type of application/octet-stream if none present in the object.

The Release Notes are online now.
