======== Orion Node Riak is being renamed and will reside at a new repo. http://github.com/mauritslamers/Thoth

OrionNodeRiak

A Node-based server database front end for Sproutcore.

Features:

• Websocket support
• Long polling support (might be a bit buggy still)
• Session support
• Policy (role-based permissions) and record filtering support
• Authentication support (async)
• Easy to implement custom storage modules (example mySQL, Riak and OrionDB storage modules included)
• Automated updates pushed to connected clients

Written with a SproutCore application in mind. (http://www.sproutcore.com)

Status: Between alpha and beta status...
Two datasources, one for Websockets and one for XHR long polling are included. Both can be found in clients/SproutCore

What works: 
    - WebSocket connections in a WebSocket enabled browser (still problems with FF4.01beta though)
    - Long Polling XHR
    - Authentication from userdata in a file
    - Session support
    - Automatic distribution of changes based on users previous requests
    - support for sending queries to the server
    - support for custom storage modules, such as fixtures
    - SC.DataSource client code for both XHR long polling and Websocket
    - MySQL support (you need the mysql client and bindings from my node-mysql-mysqlclient fork)

What still needs to be implemented:
    - support for more Riak features in requests to the server
    - additional authentication modules
    - binary data support

Many thanks to Jeff Pittman (geojeff) and juan77 for their continuing support and willingness to test and catch bugs!
