Figure out a cross-DC strategy for the BloomFilter caches
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

These are used to avoid spamming the logging table servers we route traffic to for MW. They are disable now (T92591). Ideally these could just separately poll themselves up to date rather than use SPOFy master/slave setups. This would work cross-DC too. Disabling AoF and using daily RDB snapshots might handle persistence (or we could just have none). MW already knows when the filter is stale and avoids in in such cases.

@aaron, do I understand this right that rbf100x aren't used/going to be used? Do we need to decommission those servers or are you planning on using them somehow? If it's the former, we'll need a separate task for this.

Yep, decom process can start.
