Serious question: how do you guys get around the slowness of Riak? I've tried deploying it to like 5-6 nodes, and I max out at like 5000 GET/s with multiple clients/threads/whatever for a single key on giant ass machines with plenty of CPU and RAM.

We're using Riak to store forms that can have varying schemas as JSON. That and the no-single-point-of-failure were two of the big draws.

Looks like this guy built a zookeeper lite on top of riak_core. That looks interesting. For those that don't know, the "riak" nosql product is actually comprised of many submodules that each handle a certain portion of the overall application. Riak_core is the module that handles the coordination of distributing work amongst many nodes in a single cluster.
