HTTP List Buckets

Lists all known buckets (ones that have keys stored in them).

Not for production use

Similar to the list keys operation, this requires traversing all keys stored in the cluster and should not be used in production.

Request

GET /riak?buckets=true       # Old format
GET /buckets?buckets=true    # New format

Required query parameter:

buckets=true - required to invoke the list-buckets functionality

Response

Normal status codes: * 200 OK

Important headers: * Content-Type - application/json

The JSON object in the response will contain a single entry, “buckets”, which will be an array of bucket names.
