Riak continues to gain adoption worldwide supporting critical applications that require high-availability, predictable scalability, and performance.

Riak is used by thousands of companies, including over 30% of the Fortune 50.

Riak 2.0 includes a range of flexible, distributed data types, that greatly simplify application development without sacrificing Riak-s availability and partition tolerance characteristics. Available Riak data types include distributed counters, sets, maps, registers, and flags.

Developers now have the flexibility to choose whether buckets should be eventually consistent (the default Riak configuration today that provides high availability) or strongly consistent, based on data requirements.

. Riak Search is completely redesigned in Riak 2.0, leveraging the Apache Solr engine. Riak Search in 2.0 fully supports the Solr client query APIs, enabling integration with a wide range of existing software and commercial solutions.

Riak 2.0 adds the ability to administer access rights and utilize plug-in authentication models. Authentication and Authorization is provided via client APIs.

Riak 2.0 continues to improve Riak-s operational simplicity by changing how, and where, configuration information is stored in an easy-to-parse and transparent format.

Exclusive to Riak Enterprise 2.0, users can now optionally store fewer copies of replicated data across multiple datacenters to better maintain a balance between storage overhead and availability.
