Hi, just a quick status report. The process of removing unnecessary tags [1] has been running for 95 days now, and has processed 113 out of roughly 175 million nodes. That's a little slower than expected and if the process continues at that speed, I'm afraid is going to drag on into the first half of January, 2010.
I will however try a few tricks to achieve a speedup (perhaps run a second process during off-peak times). Other than that slight slowdown, everything looks fine. Data users should already be seeing reduced extract sizes across the whole US (the update proceeds county by county but in random sequence, and also re-visits counties with large numbers of updates). Bye Frederik [1] The process will drop "source", "tiger:tlid", "tiger:upload_uuid" and "tiger:county" from all nodes which have at least one of the three "tiger" tags. It will not drop "source" from other nodes. If a node is found to be tagless after removing these, and the node is not used by any way, it will be removed entirely. -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail frede...@remote.org ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
