Delaying the second November run by 2 days
by Ariel Glenn WMF 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

Because the first run of the month was delayed, we need a couple days delay now for the second run to start, so that the last of the wikis (dewiki) ca finish up the first run. I expect the second monthly run to finish on time however, once started. Ariel

Important news about the November dumps run!
by Ariel Glenn WMF 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

As was previously announced on the xmldatadumps-l list, the sql/xml dumps generated twice a month will be written to an internal server, starting with the November run. This is in part to reduce load on the web/rsync/nfs server which has been doing this work also until now. We want separation of roles for some other reasons too. Because I want to get this right, and there are a lot of moving parts, and I don't want to rsync all the prefetch data over to these boxes again next month after cancelling the move: ******** If needed, the November full run will be delayed for a few days. If the November full run takes too long, the partial run, usually starting on the 20th of the month, will not take place. ********* Additionally, as described in an earlier email on the xmldatadumps-l list: ********* files will show up on the web server/rsync server with a substantial delay. Initially this may be a day or more. This includes index.html and other status files. ********* You can keep track of developments here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178893 If you know folks not on the lists in the recipients field for this email, please forward it to them and suggest that they subscribe to this list. Thanks, Ariel

IMPORTANT: Changes to abstracts and siteinfo-namespaces jobs
by Ariel Glenn WMF 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

These jobs are currently written uncompressed. Starting with the next run, I plan to write these as gzip compressed files. This means that we'll save a lot of space for the larger abstracts dumps. Additionally,only status and html files will be uncompressed, which is convenient for maintenance reasons. If anyone has a strong objection to this, please raise it now. There's a ticket open for it: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178046 Thanks! Ariel
