I chose the most polite way to point out his error, and now you are compounding it by attempting to rebut me with quotes that don't actually rebut me if you know what you're doing. Listing all keys is a function meant for debugging, not for running in production. If you're running M/R jobs based on that then you don't know what you're doing. The person you're quoting, in fact, said they were doing MR jobs over billions of keys. Further the person who made that recommendation doesn't work for Basho, and that they said he should consider HBase is not the same as saying that Riak can't do it.

You want to say I'm wrong, make a specific argument. Don't selectively quote things out of context that actually don't rebut my position, as that's profoundly dishonest. It is a way of pretending to rebut someone but without saying anything yourself so you can't be pinned on any statements. It is disingenuous.

I'm really tired of having to rebut these argument-from-ignorance "rebuttals" here on HN.
