Say you have added a bucket to Riak like below (Using riak-php-client):
$myData = '{
"24":{
"1": {
"Ryan":{
"email":"chris@test.com",
"title":"Boss",
"Phone":"555.555.5555",
"Fax":"555.555.5555",
"Twitter":"@testingtwitter"
}
}
}
}';
$data = json_decode($myData, true);
$object->setData($myData);
$object->store();
}
}';
If you want to access the "Twitter" value. What is the correct way to access that key via Riak?
If you wish to retrieve your object by something other than the key, you would need to use the new secondary indexes feature of Riak 1.x
You could add a secondary index that represents the "Twitter" field in your object by adding the following header to an HTTP PUT to store an object:
x-riak-index-twitter_bin: @testingtwitter
This would allow you to retrieve it via:
curl http://localhost:8098/buckets/mybucket/index/twitter_bin/@testingtwitter
(note this requires the use of the eleveldb backend and turning on secondary indexes in the Riak config)
If you wish to ask us questions a little more directly, please feel free to do so on our riak-users mailing list - http://lists.basho.com/mailman/listinfo/riak-users_lists.basho.com
Edit to add: This functionality is available in the Riak PHP client via the RiakObject->addIndex() and setIndex() methods and getting via the RiakBucket->indexSearch() method. It appears that current generated documentation isn't up to date; my apologies, I'll see that it gets updated.
