Hello! Would you be able to explain a little more on the access pattern? Is this going to be a bulk operation across, for example, all articles on a wiki? Would you mind posting your reply on this list as well as, after signing up (if not already signed up), on the discovery list ( https://lists.wikimedia.org/postorius/lists/discovery.lists.wikimedia.org/ ) ?
