Back of the envelope calculation is that we're about half done. I tried comparing to previous conversions to estimate time per topic, but the resulting time estimate was too low (not sure why).

This is instead based on looking at the progress of competed topics (since they are turned into redirects):

mysql:research@s3-analytics-slave [mediawikiwiki]> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM page WHERE page_namespace = 90 AND page_title LIKE 'Project:Support_desk/%' AND page_title NOT LIKE '%/reply%%%%' AND page_is_redirect;
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
|     3333 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.51 sec)

mysql:research@s3-analytics-slave [mediawikiwiki]> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM page WHERE page_namespace = 90 AND page_title LIKE 'Project:Support_desk/%' AND page_title NOT LIKE '%/reply%%%%';
+----------+
| COUNT(*) |
+----------+
|     6835 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.02 sec)

3333/6835 = 48.8%

TLDR, it seems to be getting slower. For now we can probably still just leave it, but it might be like 10 days. If it gets even slower, we will have to probably stop it and fix the problem (it is resumable):

It does seem to be slowing done on the topic iteration:

Something is slowing down the iteration of topics; in the beginning there were not these gaps, but now they're long.

I think the query is roughly:

SELECT  thread_id,thread_id,thread_subject,thread_article_namespace,thread_article_title,thread_parent,thread_ancestor,thread_created,thread_modified,thread_author_id,thread_author_name,thread_summary_page,thread_root,thread_type,thread_signature  FROM `thread`   WHERE thread_article_namespace = '0' AND thread_article_title = 'Test_LQT' AND (thread_id>='674') AND (thread_type != '2')  ORDER BY thread_id LIMIT 501

(that's taken from my test wiki debugging, but can be changed to match prod).

Even doing it without the LIMIT doesn't take forever:

SELECT  thread_id,thread_id,thread_subject,thread_article_namespace,thread_article_title,thread_parent,thread_ancestor,thread_created,thread_modified,thread_author_id,thread_author_name,thread_summary_page,thread_root,thread_type,thread_signature  FROM `thread`   WHERE thread_article_namespace = '4' AND thread_article_title = 'Support_desk/LQT_Archive_1' AND (thread_id>='674') AND (thread_type != '2')  ORDER BY thread_id;

The slowdown may be partly to writing larger and larger source store logs. Currently at:

So it turned out to have a memory leak (@hoo noticed it last night). It was about 16 GB when I had to kill it:

www-data  7846 92.4 49.8 17474100 16370300 pts/47 R<+ Jul30 13483:52 php /srv/mediawiki-staging/multiversion/MWScript.php extensions/Flow/maintenance/convertLqtPageOnLocalWiki.php --wiki=mediawikiwiki --debug --srcpage Project:Support_desk --logfile /tmp/Project:Support_desk.log

I should have checked this before (this is almost definitely the cause of the slowdown (SWAP usage rather than RAM)), but it didn't occur to me since I was more thinking about the possibility of repeated iterations or inefficient database queries.

Log of the initial run is at http://people.wikimedia.org/~mattflaschen/2015_07_30_LQT_Flow_VE_Feedback_and_Support_desk.log (VE is also before that).

Good news is that we're done two thirds:

mysql:research@s3-analytics-slave [mediawikiwiki]> SELECT (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM page WHERE page_namespace = 90 AND page_title LIKE 'Project:Support_desk/%' AND page_title NOT LIKE '%/reply%%%%' AND page_is_redirect) / (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM page WHERE page_namespace = 90 AND page_title LIKE 'Project:Support_desk/%' AND page_title NOT LIKE '%/reply%%%%');

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.73 sec)

Bad news is when we resume it will have to loop through and detect all the completed ones from the resume log, but it won't have to do any Parsoid requests or inserts.

Good news is after the memory leak is done, the remaining third should go faster.

It's still leaking. I'm wondering if we have anything set up (xhprof?) for memory profiling, and whether I have to kill it to add some line enabling that or not.

@ori installed XDebug on terbium for me. It looks like the relevant parameters we would need to set are:

xdebug.trace_format = 1
xdebug.show_mem_delta = 1
xdebug.auto_trace = 1

So the following should work:

php -d "xdebug.trace_format=1" -d "xdebug.show_mem_delta=1" -d "xdebug.auto_trace=1"  /srv/mediawiki-staging/multiversion/MWScript.php extensions/Flow/maintenance/convertLqtPageOnLocalWiki.php --wiki=mediawikiwiki --debug --srcpage Project:Support_desk/LQT_Archive_1 --logfile /tmp/Project:Support_desk.log

The output should go to /tmp. Holding off on trying this, since I want to see how far it will get before the memory becomes intolerable. Currently it's at:

It's definitely moving faster now, but it's not clear how much of that is due to having done ~5 percentage points since restart vs. memory leak improvements. It's done 5.83 (73.31 - 67.48) percentage points since ~00:01 UTC (and that calculation penalizes it for the "check off what I already did" phase. It's 04:29 in the above, so that's 4 hours, 28 minutes. That's 1.31 an hour.

Whereas before, at one point it was doing less than 5 percentage points in over a day.

The RAM reached 10 GB, and I don't really feel comfortable letting it run overnight, so I decided to kill it.

Plus, we still really ought to figure out the memory leak.

So I'll re-run it with the profiling parameters from above tomorrow. Final status for tonight:

0.7494 (fraction)

and:

www-data 32477 54.5 31.1 10812664 10223660 pts/47 S<+ 00:01 189:59 php /srv/mediawiki-staging/multiversion/MWScript.php extensions/Flow/maintenance/convertLqtPageOnLocalWiki.php --wiki=mediawikiwiki --debug --srcpage Project:Support_desk/LQT_Archive_1 --logfile /tmp/Project:Support_desk.log

It's still leaking, but there was a decent amount of progress (12 percentage points) on the HHVM run (see T108601):

0.8758

I'll restart it tomorrow (again on HHVM if possible, since I think it's faster).

The script run is done. :)

This thread is in an inconsistent state. Compare:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/Invalid_email_confirmation_code.?redirect=no

vs.

(It is a post about the server being slow when there are too many LiquidThreads messages: Really).

It's apparently since it's not in the thread table, which unfortunately we can't really do anything about:
