Hello again, This is the weekly update from the Search Platform team for the week starting 2019-02-11. As always, feedback and questions welcome. == Discussions == === Search === * Stas and Trey worked on creating a textcat package to deploy [0] * Mathew and Gehel collaborated on creating an Icinga check for failed shard allocation [1] * Search, SRE, and WMCS created a cloudelastic-root group that refines certain access to the search clusters [2] * Erik ran Wikidata entity autocomplete AB test on de, fr, es wikis. The testing proved to be good, and the new wbsearchentities profiles have been deployed [3] * Erik worked to create a metastore if it is missing from indexNamespaces.php (installs were failing while running updateSearchIndexConfig.php) [4] * David reworked how source_regex timeout is done in Cirrus (to limit the source_regex query from consuming all the cluster resources) [5] * David also confirmed that the ApiFeatureUsage still works with ElasticSearch 6.5.4 [6] * Erik noted that as production search indicies are now split across three clusters per datacenter, mwgrep needs to be able to query multiple ElasticSearch clusters [7] * Erik ensured that the mjolnir daemons will work seamlessly with ElasticSearch 5 or 6 [8] * Trey and David ensured that the Elastic language analysis components, our internal components, and third-party components are all working as expected in ElasticSearch 6 [9] [0] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T213936 [1] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T212850 [2] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214922 [3] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214515 [4] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T215369 [5] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T198734 [6] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T215621 [7] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T215199 [8] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T215475 [9] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T194849 ---- Subscribe to receive on-wiki (or opt-in email) notifications of the Discovery weekly update. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Newsletter:Discovery_Weekly The archive of all past updates can be found on MediaWiki.org: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Discovery/Status_updates Interested in getting involved?
