The schema change can be found at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/122349/5/maintenance/archives/patch-pp_sortkey.sql, reproduced here as well:
ALTER TABLE /*_*/page_props
ADD pp_sortkey float DEFAULT NULL;
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX /*i*/pp_propname_sortkey_page
ON /*_*/page_props ( pp_propname, pp_sortkey, pp_page );
This is hidden behind a feature flag so there's no rush to have this done before a set deployment.
