I wish that the Basho Riak product pages had at least half as much high-level technical information about their data model without having to dig deep into their site. All I find on their product pages is marketing speak ("scale predictably", "fast and easy", "fault tolerance", "map/reduce"). I finally found some info on the data model though: http://wiki.basho.com/display/RIAK/An+Introduction+to+Riak#A... http://wiki.basho.com/display/RIAK/How+Things+Work
