Part 2 of my introduction to Riak has just been published. You can view it here:

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/os-riak2/index.html

I’ve had a quick look and there appears to be an encoding issue in Listing 2. Ignore the question marks. It should read:

$ curl -i http://localhost:8098/riak/odds/
...
{ "odds":"", "description":"" }

 
Hopefully they will have corrected it by the time you read this.

Other than that it’s more or less how I submitted it (I think). I’ll go over it in more detail later on. Let me know what you think.
