Hoi,
This mail thread is NOT about the issues that I or others face at this
time. They are serious enough but that is not for this thread. People are
working hard to find a solution for now. That is cool.
What I want to know is are we technically and financially ready for a
continued exponential growth. If so, what are the plans and what if those
plans are needed in half the time expected. Are we ready for a continued
growth. When we hesitate we will lose the opportunities that are currently
open to us.
Thanks,
GerardM

Gerard mentioned the PROBLEM in the 2nd sentence. I
read it clearly....
we all experience in the really bad response times
we are suffering. It
is so bad that people are asked what kind of updates they are
running
because it makes a difference in the lag times there are.
The response times are typically attributed to SPARQL queries from what I
have seen, as well as applying multiple edits with scripts or mass
operations. Although I recall there is a light queue mechanism inherent in
the Blazegraph architecture that contributes to this, and I am fine with
slower writes.
What most users are not comfortable with is the slower reads in different
areas of Wikidata.
We need to identify those slow read areas or figure out a way to get
consensus on what parts of Wikidata reading affect our users the most.
So let's be constructive here:
Gerard - did you have specific areas that affect your daily work, and what
from of work is that (reading/writing , which areas) ?
