May I ask you to hold (pause temporarily) the rename? We are very close of finalizing the deployment of a database change that will make the rename almost instant. That will reduce the amount of work the database has to do plus avoid most inconveniences for the user. This is the same case as T224348.
@jcrespo please consider sending an email to global-renamers - at - lists.wikimedia.org in case of improvements like this -- which everyone will love.
@revi I will suggest the developers to announce it there (all credit to the core team), although I am mostly sure they are aware of this; just not ready enough to be announced yet.
This doesn't really need a DBA there is no lag replication lag showing up since we replaced all the old hardware
@mys_721tx, there should be no reason to block this anymore, as far as I been told and I can see, renames should be (almost) instant and not longer be an error-prone action. Please confirm when performing this rename.
@revi This is not yet announced, but I have not forgotten about it, I just want to right person to do it (who implemented it) to take credit for the improvement.
