Riak - Python script to load key-value data into Riak buckets

Question

I have no prior experience with Riak and I am just starting to work on it.

I have data that I would like to load into Riak buckets. For that, I first need to create buckets on the Riak cluster. Are there any example scripts (preferably, in Python) out there that I can refer to do all this - creating buckets + loading data? I did a quick Google search but could not find anything specific.

Any hints/info that can guide me would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

I'd recommend walking through the Zombie Riak app. The application stack is forked from this inverted index code written in Ruby, which isn't a big leap to Python. Some notes:

• riak_hosts.rb shows how it connects to the Riak KV cluster
• load_data.rb is a simple loading process with regular updates
• models/zombie.rb shows you the schema
