Not that I know, but it uses ETS to handle state, and the global process registry to store peer information, as far as I know.

Also, be aware that OP mentioned riak-core, which is a different thing from Riak. riak-core is a library to build dynamo-style distributed applications, which gives you virtual nodes, consistent hashing and data migration as building blocks.

Riak KV uses leveldb, but as @ergl mentioned, riak-core is essentially a hash-ring and replication (aka dynamo) layer.
