Not really needed for now -> lowest priority.

It's actually needed for the jobqueue -- for example in centralnotice when I insert new translation cache regen jobs meta.beta dies because it cannot talk to the backend job queue.

Well if someone volunteer, I guess it needs a dedicated instance for redis then apply whatever puppet manifest and adapt it. Once done mediawiki-config can be tweaked to point beta to that new instance.

Ariel wrote the jobqueue configuration for labs. The conf was previously broken because labs was using jobqueue-pmtpa.php which is for production.

There were some issues with file layout on the job runner too which Antoine fixed up. Anyways there is now a local redis instance in beta but it needs to be puppetized, so I am leaving this bug open for a bit yet.

Assigning to Ariel who is working on this.

This is waiting on a review from Asher of the changeset at

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/64267/

which is in use by labs on deployment-redisdb-test right now.

Thanks for the review.. pushed and live, jobs appear to be working, closing.
