Disconnecting from riak node after some time

[blacklightknight]

Hello, I have just started using riak and am using riak-erlang-client. I follow the guide given here https://github.com/basho/riak-erlang-client/ but after some time I am getting disconnected from riak. Here are the console logs:

Can anybody explain why am I getting the exception in line 6 and how can I get rid of it. I am running riak-2.2.3, a single node in a Mac .

Hi, the riak user mailing list or IRC are the best place for questions like this. This is not an issue with the riak client.

When you call start_link you've linked your shell to the riak pb client Pid. When you have the error on line 3 you actually crashed the shell and restarted a new one, and your linked pb client Pid was crashed. There is no longer a riak_pb_client process running.

On line 5 you call PUT and the error messages tells you that there is noproc (no process). This is because the error on line 3 crashed it.

HTH, please use the ML or IRC or Slack next time

Actually the first 3 lines of the logs are from a previous trail which should have failed due to a silly mistake which I figured out(my system restarted and thus my ip changed). These three lines shouldn't be here --my bad, but the next 6 lines are the actual logs, so the doubt still prevails but you are right i will ask this question in mailing list again. Sorry for the inconvenience caused here.
