Summary

The focus this week has been on annual planning. Other projects are moving along.

What we've accomplished

Search - Analysis

  • Blog post written about the work that has been done around unpacking the analyzers. This should be published on Diff after editorial review.
  • Brazilian Portuguese has been reindexed, enabling the unpacking of the Brazilian analyzer - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T333398

Search - Update Pipeline

  • rdf-streaming-updater is now running with Flink Operators on the DSE k8s cluster. This validate the underlying deployment process, so that we can focus on functional aspects again - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328675

Operations / SRE

  • Decommission query-preview.wikidata.org, which was used to allow our users to validate the migration to the streaming updater. This migration is completed since long enough that this exposed service isn't needed anymore. - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T333656
  • Cookbook created to ban / unban nodes, which is required during the upcoming network switch maintenance. Having this automated reduces the potential errors. - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T331303
