Compose query for minor edit history
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

Per user story T234942: Curator gets minor edit history, we want to add a filter for minor edit history as one of the available filter types on the existing /page/{title}/history endpoint.

Create an SQL query to retrieve this history. Update this task with the query. Incorporation of the query into the existing endpoint will be performed under a separate task.

This may be somewhat related to T235572: Compose query for minor edit count

Requirements:

  • Task updated with query
  • Check performance of query
    • If performance is an issue contact DBAs to determine next steps

Event Timeline

For reference, count queries for the existing filter types were created under T231599: Compose New History Queries and implemented under T231597: Implement GET History Filter

In meeting notes, @Pchelolo said "There's a rev_minor_edit field in the revision table, but there's no index on it, so it might be really slow...".

What (if anything) do we need to do with the rev_deleted field in this query?

SELECT  rev_id,rev_page,rev_timestamp,rev_minor_edit,rev_deleted,rev_len,rev_parent_id,rev_sha1,
  comment_rev_comment.comment_text AS `rev_comment_text`,
  comment_rev_comment.comment_data AS `rev_comment_data`,
  comment_rev_comment.comment_id AS `rev_comment_cid`,
  actor_rev_user.actor_user AS `rev_user`,
  actor_rev_user.actor_name AS `rev_user_text`,
  temp_rev_user.revactor_actor AS `rev_actor`
FROM `revision`
JOIN `revision_comment_temp` `temp_rev_comment`
  ON ((temp_rev_comment.revcomment_rev = rev_id))
JOIN `comment` `comment_rev_comment`
  ON ((comment_rev_comment.comment_id = temp_rev_comment.revcomment_comment_id))
JOIN `revision_actor_temp` `temp_rev_user`
  ON ((temp_rev_user.revactor_rev = rev_id AND revactor_page = rev_page))
JOIN `actor` `actor_rev_user`
  ON ((actor_rev_user.actor_id = temp_rev_user.revactor_actor))
WHERE rev_page = ?
  AND (rev_minor_edit != 0)
ORDER BY rev_timestamp DESC, rev_id DESC
LIMIT 21;

The only difference between this query and the base query (without filters) is the "AND (rev_minor_edit != 0)" in the WHERE

For rev_page 534366 (Barack_Obama):

Per IRC discussion, this query is approved. The query in T235572: Compose query for minor edit count is still being discussed, but does not block this task, or other engineering tasks for the related user story.
