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. ********* You can keep track of developments here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T178893 If you know folks not on the lists in the recipients field for this email, please forward it to them and suggest that they subscribe to this list.
