Notes

Error started around 05:00 UTC on 2024-04-03 (Wednesday) with wmf.25 at group0 and has affected both wmf.24 and wmf.25. Change https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/1004792 modified function getLagTimes which returns the indices that are currently causing the out of range error. However, the change was merged on 2024-03-22 and had already gone out in the wmf.24 train ago. All of this makes me think some other factor started triggering the error on Wednesday.

The issue affects mainly wikidate and happens in bursts, which points at some kind of data dump/snapshot.

Event Timeline

The exception has actually been happening with different offset indices for at least a week, e.g. on the 2024-03-28 (Thursday) last week during the wmf.24 train. This aligns better with the deployment of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/1004792

jnuche renamed this task from PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 10 in rdbms/loadbalancer/LoadBalancer.php to PHP Notice: Undefined offset in rdbms/loadbalancer/LoadBalancer.php.Thu, Apr 4, 12:29 PM

It's combination of that patch, cache being stalled and depooling replicas for maint. It should be a rather small number from what I'm seeing (3K in a day). I can take care of it once back or some easy patch can be made.

I'm on train duty this week so I'm pinging on this ticket. LoadBalancer:1849 PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 8 is the top error on in logspam-watch output.
