This is the weekly update for the week starting 2019-04-08
Discussions
editSearch
edit- New WikibaseCirrusSearch code is deployed and enabled on all wikis, including Wikidata & Commons. [1]
- We re-indexed all Greek, Turkish, and Irish-language wikis with better handling of Greek accents [2], Turkish İ/ı [3], and Irish initial mutation [4] when lowercasing searches in quotes. [5]
- We noticed that indices can move to readonly state when disk space is low and needs to be reset manually once disk space is available again, so we made it a cookbook [6]
- David wrote a patch to help with an exception from CirrusSearch/Sanity/Checker (cannot fetch ids from index) [7]
- We fixed/finalized more things with the ES6 upgrade:
- Erik converted mjolnir from KafkaRDD to direct kafka-python usage, because KafkaRDD in pyspark only supports the 0.8 api [12]
Wikidata Query Service
edit- Deployed patch to fix an issue in Blazegraph workbench [13]
- Working on improving cache behavior of Updater [14]
