We should migrate data stored in the External Store away from the text table: The External Store URL that is contained in the text blob can be written to the cont_address field (possibly with a prefix, to be decided, see External Store Integration). Then the corresponding rows can be deleted from the text table.

The scripts are running in screens on mwmaint2002. Since we are deleting data from the text table, we are generating a dump of the data, where the id of a text table row is associated with the external storage address, in order to provide a backup in case of something going wrong. After a wiki migrated successfully the dump is gziped and moved to stat1009 (since that host has far more disk space).
In case of data corruption: You can find the dump for the text table of abcwiki at stat1009.eqiad.wmnet:/home/zabe/text_table_dump_compressed/abcwiki.gz.
