Diagnose, Manage, and Monitor at Scale
Riak 1.1 is the latest version of Basho’s flagship open source database. A
combined effort from the core Basho Engineering Team and Riak’s growing
open source community, Riak 1.1 represents the progression of the most
stable, scalable NoSQL database available today.
Riak 1.1 boosts data synchronization performance for multi-data center deployments, provides operating system and installation diagnostics and improves operational control for very large clusters. Riak 1.1 delivers a range of new features and improvements including:
- Riak Control - an open source, intuitive administrative console for managing, monitoring and interfacing with Riak clusters. Riak Control gives users the ability to see a snapshot of the health of their cluster and access detailed information on each of their nodes. An “actions panel” allows the administrator to add, take down and remove nodes from clusters with the simple push of a button.
- Riaknostic - an open source, proactive diagnostic suite for detecting common configuration and runtime problems. Riaknostic gives administrators the ability to run a series of checks, inspecting the operating system and Riak installation for potential problems, then provide recommended resolutions. Riaknostic was designed to make it easy for developers and the development community to incorporate new diagnostics.
- Enhanced error logging and reporting
- Improved resiliency for large clusters
- Automatic data compression using the Snappy compression library
Riak Enterprise 1.1, Basho’s commercial distribution based on Riak, features major enhancements, primarily for multi-data center replication. Riak Enterprise 1.1 includes everything in Riak 1.1 plus:
- Bucket-level replication, adding more granularity and robustness
- Data center synchronization options, each optimized for differentuse cases
- Data synchronization improvements across multiple data centers
Riak 1.1 — simplifying life for Riak developers and administrators.
