[Cloud-announce] Maps and Scratch NFS migration
by Brooke Storm 15 May '19

15 May '19

To move maps project/home NFS and the scratch share off of the old labstore1003 machine and onto much faster, newer hardware, I’m going to begin doing rsyncs of data across. This is just to announce this is starting soon and to encourage people to reach out on the #wikimedia-cloud channel if it is hitting performance hard on maps servers, in particular or on the scratch share.

The new schema has been optimized for your use cases and complete breaks any tools combining page table data with wikibase data. If you really would care about tool developers, you wouldn't trash the unprefixed ID. Maarten

Alaa Sarhan, 25/04/19 17:38: > Full migration is not possible unfortunately due to the current capacity > of database master node. Can you clarify whether it would also be too much load to write both to the new table and the old wb_terms table for a transition period (controlled by a configuration setting)? (I'm not advocating for it, just asking because we did something of the sort in the past for other transitions.) Federico

[Mediawiki-api-announce] BREAKING CHANGE: Action API action=logout will require a CSRF token
by Brad Jorsch (Anomie) 25 Apr '19

25 Apr '19

With the merge of Icb674095,[1] use of API action=logout will require a CSRF token. This was considered a security issue, so the usual deprecation process was not followed. See T25227[2] for details. Clients that do not use a CSRF token with action=logout will receive a badtoken error message ***and will not be logged out***. This change should be deployed to Wikimedia wikis with 1.34.0-wmf.3. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.34/Roadmap for a schedule. Overall client impact is expected to be relatively low, as gathered statistics indicate there are relatively few users of this API call. None the less, maintainers should check their code for use of action=logout and update as necessary to maintain expected operation.

[Cloud-announce] Partial toolforge and PAWS outages Monday
by Andrew Bogott 17 Apr '19

17 Apr '19

Tuesday starting at around 17:00 UTC I'm going to relocate the paws and kubernetes masters to the new network region. While the VMs are copying, launches of new kubernetes jobs and creation of new PAWS notebooks will fail. The outage should last about an hour -- less if everything goes well, somewhat more if not. Jobs that are already running when the copy begins should be unaffected. Apologies for any inconvenience caused! -Andrew _______________________________________________ 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

Fwd: [Mediawiki-api-announce] Deprecation of list=allusers 'recenteditcount' result property
