TL;DR

Welle is an expressive Clojure client for Riak with batteries included.

3.0.0-rc1 is a major release that has breaking API changes.

Changes between Welle 2.0.x and 3.0

Welle 3.0 has breaking API changes in most namespaces.

Client (Connection) is Explicit Argument

All Welle public API functions that issue requests to Riak now require a client (HTTP or PBC) to be passed as an explicit argument:

(ns welle.docs.examples
  (:require [clojurewerkz.welle.core    :as wc]
            [clojurewerkz.welle.buckets :as wb]
            [clojurewerkz.welle.kv      :as kv])
  (:import com.basho.riak.client.http.util.Constants))

(let [conn   (wc/connect)
      bucket "accounts"
      key    "novemberain"
      val    {:name "Michael" :age 27 :username key}]
  (wb/create conn bucket)
  ;; stores data serialized as JSON
  (kv/store conn bucket key val {:content-type Constants/CTYPE_JSON_UTF8})
  ;; fetches it back
  (kv/fetch conn bucket key))

Options as Maps

Functions that take optional arguments now require them to be proper maps (and not pseudo-keywords):

;; in 2.0
(kv/store bucket key val :content-type Constants/CTYPE_JSON_UTF8)

;; in 3.0
(kv/store conn bucket key val {:content-type Constants/CTYPE_JSON_UTF8})

HTTPComponents 4.3

Welle now excludes HTTPComponents dependency for Riak client and instead uses version 4.3 which clj-http depends on.
