  Few details on the issue:
  
  - For extensively modified entities (e.g. by bots) log show that information 
provided by RecentChanges API isn't always up to date. This can lead to lost 
revisions - if the last change was among the ones not yet provided by the API, 
the next check will omit it, since it thinks that previous time period was 
already handled.
  - Our workaround for the issue is to add the delay to processing time periods 
of changes. This isn't an ideal solution for two reasons - it adds a lag to an 
already substantial process and it doesn't provide guarantees that the delay 
length we set will help in all cases.
  - We won't be pursuing a better solution for this issue with current updater 
-  we're closing in on having a new, streaming based, updater on production. It 
uses Kafka events and Flink to reconcile the updates which allows for a much 
less fragile process.
  - This doesn't fix the currently inconsistent entities, but that will be done 
with the data reload - T267927 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T267927>.
