To query nested keys in Riak, you will need to use Riak's MapReduce queries. Here is an example of how to query nested keys in Riak using MapReduce:

  1. Create a MapReduce query that will search for the nested key you are interested in. For example, if you have a nested key called "nested_key" within a bucket called "example_bucket", you can create a MapReduce query like this:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
{
  "inputs": "example_bucket",
  "query": [
    {
      "map": {
        "language": "javascript",
        "source": "function(value, keyData, arg) { var data = Riak.mapValuesJson(value)[0]; if(data.nested_key) { return [[ data.nested_key ]]; } else { return []; } }"
      }
    }
  ]
}


  1. Execute the MapReduce query using Riak's HTTP API or Riak's command-line interface. For example, you can use the curl command to execute the query:
1
curl -X POST http://localhost:8098/mapred --data '<MapReduce query>'


  1. Check the results returned by the MapReduce query to retrieve the nested key values that you are interested in.


This is a basic example of how you can query nested keys in Riak using MapReduce. You can customize the query to fit your specific requirements and retrieve the nested keys you need.
