Using > TicTac AAE Fold:
List Buckets

Returns a list of bucket names stored in Riak.

See the TicTac AAE aae_folds documentation for configuration, tuning and troubleshootings help.

The list_buckets function

Run this using riak attach.

riak_client:aae_fold({
    list_buckets,
    assumed_nval
    }, Client).

There are no available filters for this method.

assumed_nval should ideally be set to your cluster’s default nval, but can be safely set to 1 for this purpose. Do not set it to below 1 or above your highest nval.

This will list all buckets:

riak_client:aae_fold({
    list_buckets,
    3
    }, Client).

The response

The response will be an array of bucket names, or tuples of bucket types and bucket names, as Erlang binaries. It looks something like this:

{ok,[{<<"animals">>,<<"dogs">>},
     <<"cars">>]}

This shows that there are two buckets:

• “dogs” of bucket type “animals”
• “cars” with no bucket type
