* (bug 20468) User::invalidateCache throws 1205: Lock wait timeout exceeded Severly limit the number of calls that actually update the database (for no gain!). Leaving stuff that needs to update memcached Still, there's probably quite a lot of these calls which are still superfluous Comment: Reduce the number of errors, by reducing the number of attempted updates, so we don't potentially get these lock wait timeouts It seems to be called arbitrarily in many places, meaning one request can update the timestamp many times in one pageload/save/whatever _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list mediawiki-coderev...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
