hey folks,
sorry if I'm reading this wrong, but it would be helpful to set a global data directory instead of overloading every data store or index location. The default seems to be "/var/lib/riak/", and I would like to move that to "/mnt/data/riak" (I'm on EC2).

I'm setting the riak_core.platform_data_dir = "/mnt/data/riak", but I still needs to update a half-dozen file locations. can chef use the riak-core.platform_data_dir as an attribute to set riak_kv.mapred_queue_dir, bitcask.data_root, etc

thanks!
