Ian Plosker from Basho is interviewed by Stefan Edlich, author of two NoSQL books. Ian presents Riak, which is a distributed database that blurs the line between key-value and document-store. He also describes Bashos other products, which are all based to some extent on Riak. Anti-entropy is explained, and also why it is only necessary following some kind of failure. As Ian puts it: “In the end it is all about providing the users with data in more interesting ways.”
