Max,
I imagine Neta was asking for analytics-store access, so not /really/ the production cluster ;p. But, yes: generally-speaking "I need access to some data for...something", is not likely to lead to access to dbs containing sensitive information.

Access to production cluster, especially to databases that contain all kinds of user information, is an extremely big deal, so it's unlikely that this is going to happen, especially for a small one-time project.

Thanks guys, I filed a request.
I think I will be working constantly with the database so it will require shell access.
Actually, this is a great opportunity to say that I would love to get you guys involved or at least hear insights from the analytics team regarding the project's direction. I will probably check in again in a month or so when we will have better understanding regarding the direction my project is headed. Until then, here is a link to the project in phabricator: article-translation-metrics https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/article-translation-metrics/.
Merry Christmas,

If you're just looking to run a few queries, you might consider http://quarry.wmflabs.org which requires no shell access -- just a Wikimedia sites account.

For my project, we will need to sql queries on current wikipedia data (mostly revision history table).
I already have a Gerrit account. Can I get SSH access for running such queries?
It sounds like the redacted labs databases would nicely fit your use case. The easiest way to get access there is to apply for Tool Labs [1].
To get access, please file a request through
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FormEdit/Tools_Access_Request
(Many parts around the WMF are currently getting migrated to phabricator.wikimedia.org, so if someone knows a phabricator procedure for that please chime in!)
Once you've got Tool Labs [1] access you can ssh to
tools-login.wmflabs.org
and running
sql enwiki
on that host connects you to labsdb's enwiki database and you can run your queries there (similar for other wikis).
Have fun, Christian
