Upgrade to MariaDB 10.2
by Huji Lee 02 Jun '19

02 Jun '19

Hi all, Does anyone know when we will be upgrading the Clouds replica DBs to MariaDB 10.2? I am asking mainly because we are on 10.1.33, 10.3 is now out, and since 10.2 support for CTEs (WITH statements) has been added which is very handy. Thanks, Huji

[Cloud-announce] Network interruptions next Wednesday, 2018-10-24 at 14:00 UTC
by Andrew Bogott 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

Hello! The Wikimedia datacenter team will be performing some routine network maintenance[1] next Wednesday. This will cause brief, rolling network interruptions for essentially all tools, services, and virtual servers -- each physical server will be briefly unplugged as its network cable is moved to a new switch. Ideally these interruptions will only last a few seconds and be unnoticeable, but downtime may be longer if there are unexpected complications. This process will begin at 14:00 UTC on Wednesday the 24th, which is 7 AM in California. All moves should be completed within an hour. -Andrew [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T183585 _______________________________________________ Wikimedia Cloud Services announce mailing list Cloud-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org (formerly labs-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud-announce

Autopromoted groups aren't listed in user_groups table
by max 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Hello. I'm a ruwiki user MBH. I want to ask, how can I get (from Quarry or Toollabs database replica) a list of users having one of autopromoted groups (i.e. "autoconfirmed", or "uploader" in ruwiki)? DB table user_groups contains only manually assigned groups, such as "sysop".

[Cloud-announce] Neutron region migrations starting next Friday
by Andrew Bogott 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Beginning next week, the cloud team will start migrating projects to Neutron[1] in earnest. I will attempt to reach out individually to affected project admins as well, but here is the upcoming migration schedule: Friday, 2018-10-19: analytics Monday, 2018-10-22: antiharassment, catgraph, codereview, cvn Tuesday, 2018-10-23: cyberbot, fastcci, general-k8s Wednesday, 2018-10-24: huggle, logging, mobile, mwstake Thursday, 2018-10-25: planet, pluggableauth, privpol-captcha, qna Friday, 2018-10-26: reading-web-staging, suggestbot, test-twemproxy, wikibase-registry, wikibrain, wikidata-primary-sources-tool That seemingly-arbitrary selection of projects is chosen to free up some hardware space and make room for additional migrations in the future. Even if you don't see your project name in that list, please keep an eye on your inbox :) - Andrew + the WMCS team [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/post/view/120/neutron_is_here/ _______________________________________________ Wikimedia Cloud Services announce mailing list Cloud-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org (formerly labs-announce(a)lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud-announce

Comment/summary storage changes
by Brad Jorsch (Anomie) 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

As you may have been aware, we've been working on changing how MediaWiki stores comments: instead of having them as fields in each revision (rev_comment), log entry (log_comment), and so on, we're storing the text in a central "comment" table and referring to them by ID from other tables (log_comment_id and so on). We've been writing to the new fields and tables since the end of February 2018, and have back-populated them for old revisions, log entries, and so on. Now we're starting to look at stopping the writes to the old fields, starting soon with testing wikis such as test.wikipedia.org and also with mediawiki.org. Other wikis will follow, likely in October after the DC switch-back. For the most part wiki users shouldn't notice any changes, however if you notice something not displaying a comment or edit summary for new entries, on these wikis let me know. For users of the Data Services replicas, such as Toolforge, the views currently simulate the old columns for you. However this may change in the future. See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T181650#4581384 for details. MediaWiki developers should make sure code accessing comment fields makes use of the CommentStore class that was introduced in MediaWiki 1.30. You can watch https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T166733 (and any subtasks) for more information on the deployment process. -- Brad Jorsch (Anomie) Senior Software Engineer Wikimedia Foundation
