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.

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.
*********

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
