FWIW, my {{ref needed}} phrase in the log was also intended to that
statement by Coren, not to multichill reply.

Additionally, I rembember you data inconsistencies happen even with
native mysql replication (as informed by Nosy earlier).

Thanks for this question :) - I also want to know.
From my perspective it does not look like this and even the data 
inconsistencies appear when we have no commons copy on a mysql instance.
And: DaB experimented with federated tables for commons too and we decided to 
not do this since it does not perform from the start.
Probably nowadays when I planned something new in this area (which does not seem to make sense for TS) I'd really give Galera a try -

2. What limitation will the Toolserver have at some point?



As to #2: From what I've been told this has to do with future sharding
plans for the databases, and due to a change in how we'll be doing
replication. Of course, I've heard this in passing. For answers to both of
these questions you'll need to talk to binasher and/or notpeter on IRC, as
they are the ones doing the database work.



Thanks for telling...

Remove wiki offline
Do not allow diffrent languages on same feeds
Delete unused accounts
Delete dangerous information
Acknowledge that the sole creator could be anyone, and expects more order
in a hectic database with too much junk being reedited over and over.
Once its written correctly do not allow repeaters to do over incorrectly
work that was ligit.
Figure out how many angles are approaching the database.
This toolserver can cause havoc or can contain order depends on proper
knowledge used in operating it.

As to #2: From what I've been told this has to do with future sharding
plans for the databases, and due to a change in how we'll be doing
replication. Of course, I've heard this in passing. For answers to both of
these questions you'll need to talk to binasher and/or notpeter on IRC, as
they are the ones doing the database work.

[Toolserver-l] Toolserver limitation to come?

2013-05-01 Thread Tim Landscheidt

There were never answers to this, so I bring it up here
again:

1. How were "almost /all/ of the problems the TS have had
   with replication" "caused by that redundancy and trying
   to keep it synced"?

2. What limitation will the Toolserver have at some point?
