Storing Part of Riak Object Value in Memory

The disadvantage of Riak's Key Filter approach is that you end up with highly domain-specific keys, which can be hard to reference, especially if you need to update keys to allow querying new aspects of the data: If you need to change your existing keys, references to these keys needs to be updated too. This is hard to do atomically when you have a key-value store like Riak. Even worse, if data changes you need to update the key, and – again – the pointers to the key, if you have any.
