CentralNotice: choiceData RL module hashes are flapping
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points
Actions

Description

https://dpaste.de/pfek/raw

These hashes should only change when actual choices for a given RL context change.

This might be a cause of T133765 (or, rather, a contributing issue that caused us to get caught up in the race condition described in T117587).

Change 286119 had a related patch set uploaded (by AndyRussG):
Ensure consistent ordering of choiceData for RL module hashes

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/286119

Catrope added a comment.Apr 29 2016, 5:02 AM

I was able to verify that this is due to ordering. I sent repeated requests for https://en.wikipedia.org/w/load.php?modules=ext.centralNotice.choiceData to appservers.svc.eqiad.wmnet until I got two different responses. I stripped the JavaScript wrapping to leave just the JSON, and expanded !0 and !1 to obtain valid JSON. I then parsed the JSON and reserialized it with the pretty-printing option enabled, so I could get a meaningful diff.

The only differences the diff shows are in the ordering of the keys in the mixin objects. The perflogbot log shows this module flapping between just two distinct hash values, and I found two distinct responses, so that means there aren't any other flapping issues, at least with the configuration we have on enwiki right now. It is possible that there are other lists that are inconsistently ordered, but there are <2 items in those lists right now, so we still want to audit that and ensure everything has a consistent order.

P2974 Diff between different ext.centralNotice.choiceData blobs
