Riak KV is an open source Erlang application that is distributed using the riak_core Erlang library. Riak KV provides a key/value datastore and features MapReduce, lightweight data relations, and several different client APIs.
You must have Erlang/OTP 22 or later and a GNU-style build system to compile and run Riak KV. The easiest way to utilise Riak KV is by installing the full Riak application available on Github.
