GWicke added a comment to T176627: Trial replacing Electron with headless Chromium in the render service.

It might be worth focusing more on robustness than simple-page latency, as that is the more critical issue with Electron. Previously, I tested with a few very large articles (see T142226#2537844). This tested timeout enforcement. Testing with a simulated overload (many concurrent requests for huge pages) could also be useful to ensure that concurrency limits and resource usage limits are thoroughly enforced.

GWicke added a comment to T176627: Trial replacing Electron with headless Chromium in the render service.

See T172815 for our general thinking on robust PDF rendering based on the experience with OCG and Electron. It boils down to using a fresh render process per request & thoroughly controlling its resource consumption and maximum runtime.

GWicke added a comment to T176627: Trial replacing Electron with headless Chromium in the render service.

Electron hangs have little to do with high rates, and very much to do with specific requests for very large / complex pages, and a single backend worker being used for many consecutive requests.

GWicke added a comment to T176627: Trial replacing Electron with headless Chromium in the render service.

Queues caused many of the issues with OCG. I would really advise you to stick to a simple stateless HTTP service. Such a service offers sane error handling, provides back-pressure, integrates well with caching and rate / concurrency limiting infrastructure, and is easy to test and reason about. Once you add a queue & separate request from response, you lose all of this.

GWicke added a comment to T148592: Switch to restrictions-based access control.

In today's team sync meeting, we briefly touched on the possibility of combining the migration to the restriction table with the move to Cassandra 3. I think combining the two is attractive, as it lets us leverage the parallel double write / read testing we are doing anyway to test the new restriction storage as well. Doing this migration also lets us drop the revision table, in favor of action API requests for the few direct requests to the /title/{title} endpoint (T158100).

GWicke added a comment to T173821: Investigate exposing content styles needed via API vs as HTML tags.

If I recall correctly, ResourceLoader client code on desktop already looks at a list of modules needed in a given page, checks client side caches, and fetches the remaining modules from the RL API (in a single call), and caches those modules separately in localstorage. Given that this discussion is making no reference to this, I am getting the impression that this understanding might be wrong. Could you clarify?

GWicke added a comment to T175210: Select candidate jobs for transferring to the new infrastucture.

Given the useful information we have in this task, I am proposing to widen the scope beyond the first job, towards generally coordinating the order of migrating individual jobs. @mobrovac, does that sound reasonable to you?

GWicke lowered the priority of T175800: Allow easy tuning of the jobqueue concurrency. from Medium to Low.

We briefly discussed this during today's sync meeting. While there are ways to set up targeted processing priorities for specific jobs (by wiki, type, or other criteria), we realized that there will likely be less of a need for this in the new setup. The Redis job queue divides processing throughput evenly between projects. This makes it relatively likely for individual projects to accumulate large backlogs, which would then need manual intervention (re-prioritization) to address.

GWicke added a comment to T175316: Very large jobs posted by Wikidata.

Raised priority, as this is a) blocking the migration to the Kafka job queue backend (T157088), and b) is likely already causing performance and possibly reliability issues in the current job queue.

GWicke updated subscribers of T174993: Vandalism in "In the news" articles persisting in the app ?.

As far as I can tell, the page image(s) are handled as part of deferred linksUpdate processing. This means that the updates would be executed after the main web request, but on the same PHP thread that handled the original edit request.

GWicke added a comment to T172224: Consider partitioning local_group_wikipedia even more.

Considering the scalability limits of Cassandra's schema synchronization we see in production, I think it would be good to reduce the number of storage groups more aggressively. Perhaps something like this?

IMHO, updateBetaFeaturesUserCounts is the perfect candidate here. It's very lightweight (one SELECT, one UPDATE), it's idempotent and low-volume.

GWicke added a comment to T175305: mobile-sections: Cannot read property 'indexOf' of undefined in markReferenceSections.

@bearND, MediaWiki's section edit feature is implemented without knowledge of a DOM, so <div> wrappers do not suppress edit sections. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:GWicke/TestSections with source

GWicke added a comment to T174993: Vandalism in "In the news" articles persisting in the app ?.

I believe it was the pageimages designation for those articles I mentioned above. Not exactly sure what happened on wiki since the revisions have been deleted from public archives (and I don't have the permission to view it).

GWicke added a comment to T174993: Vandalism in "In the news" articles persisting in the app ?.

Just to clarify what exactly happened here: The offending edits were adding an image to the featured page itself, and also nominated that image to be the pageimage?

GWicke added a comment to T120242: Consistent MediaWiki state change events | MediaWiki events as source of truth.

@Ottomata, from a cursory look at those connectors, it looks like they all aim to capture all SQL updates (update, insert, delete). They don't seem to be targeted at emitting specific semantic events, such as the ones we are interested in for EventBus. This is where the SQL comment idea could help, by letting us essentially embed the events we want to have emitted in the statement, rather than trying to reverse-engineer an event from raw SQL statement(s).
