You have to _think_ about conflict resolution, but it doesn't have to be hard. If you're a developer who needs to use Riak this talk[1] is priceless.
The riak-java-client[2] provides a simple way to hook conflict resolution into your code (thanks to the ideas and solutions in that talk.) There is also the excellent Statebox from Mochi, which automates conflict resolution.
