Riak-Light

Fast and lightweight Perl client for Riak

```perl # create a new instance - using pbc only my $client = Riak::Light->new( host => '127.0.0.1', port => 8087 );

$client->is_alive() or die "ops, riak is not alive";

# store hashref into bucket 'foo', key 'bar'
# will serializer as 'application/json'
$client->put( foo => bar => { baz => 1024 });

# store text into bucket 'foo', key 'bar' 
$client->put( foo => baz => "sometext", 'text/plain');
$client->put_raw( foo => baz => "sometext");  # does not encode !

# fetch hashref from bucket 'foo', key 'bar'
my $hash = $client->get( foo => 'bar');
my $text = $client->get_raw( foo => 'baz');   # does not decode !

# delete hashref from bucket 'foo', key 'bar'
$client->del(foo => 'bar');

# check if exists (like get but using less bytes in the response)
$client->exists(foo => 'baz') or warn "ops, foo => bar does not exist";

# list keys in stream (callback only)
$client->get_keys(foo => sub{
   my $key = $_[0];

   # you should use another client inside this callback!
   $another_client->del(foo => $key);
});

```
