Hello,
Apologies for the short notice. The SRE team will be carrying out an upgrade of the switches in eqiad row D later today (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T333377) at approximately 14:00 UTC. The network outage to this row resulting from this work is expected to be around 30 minutes, all being well.
In support of this work, the Data Engineering team will be putting HDFS file system into safe mode at approximately 13:30 today, which means that write operations to the cluster will be refused. Jobs sent to the YARN cluster will also be refused from around the same time, so please try to plan any work that you may have for the cluster to avoid this maintenance window.
Read-only access to Hive, Presto, Superset, Turnilo, should continue to function normally throughout the maintenance window.
Finally, two of the stats servers (stat1005 and stat1006) will be unavailable, so please save any work that you may have on these servers before the loss of connectivity.
Please do reach out via any of the normal channels (email: analytics@lists.wikimedia.org , IRC: #wikimedia-analytics , Slack #data-engineering ) if you have any queries or concerns.
Kind regards, Ben
