Looks like 0.14 is a great release, from the notes. I'm setting up a Riak cluster tomorrow to evaluate performance as an alternative to our current HBase-based setup, so the timing on the release is perfect for me.

FWIW, if you're looking at HBase alternatives because of stability or reliability concerns, Cassandra is probably going to be an easy move because of the common BigTable datamodel ancestor. (With some notable improvements, e.g., http://www.riptano.com/blog/whats-new-cassandra-07-secondary...)

Stability and reliability have dramatically improved in HBase over time (2 years ago, those were definitely concerns I had). When we began using HBase in mid-2007, it seemed like the best (read: only viable) option for our use case. Now, there are comparably lots of options. Without much testing so far, Riak's fully distributed (non-master/slave) architecture seems appealing..

Doesn't Cassandra require a lot of RAM?

I can't find any numbers for riak RAM requirements...

Seriously, I recommend Riak to anyone who wants to experiment with NoSQL. I am using Riak w/ some MySQL and Riak is just SUCH a pleasure to use.
