Devcon June Conference, Thursday, June 20, 2013, 10:00
Systems that are "built to be distributed" are fundamentally different from systems that have "distributed features" added on after the fact.
Riak is a key/value store that is distributed at its core, and we'll look into how this core design decision makes it fault tolerant/highly available and suitable for big data problem, and how this compares to systems that add distribution an after market feature.
