What is the difference between this repo and basho/riak_kv?

[ttkingdom]

I clone, run make, make test, in both repos and saw some difference in output. What is the meaning of each repo?

It is the riak repo that contains everything necessary to build, package and run Riak KV. The riak_kv doesn't run anything itself beyond unit tests.

To run riak you need to run make rel from a clone of riak - and then there will be a version of riak in the rel/riak folder (e.g. run rel/riak/bin/riak start to run riak).

Packages can be be created by using make package, or by downloading a pre-built package from https://files.tiot.jp/riak/kv/3.0/
