Re: [Wikitech-l] TechCom meeting 2020-09-16

The minutes from TechCom's triage meeting on 2020-09-16. Present: Daniel K, Dan A, Giuseppe L, Tim S, Timo T. == Links Recommendations Service == * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T261411 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T252822 * GL: Idea is to store a blob of wikitext for every page * What’s best practice for storing derived data that would be invalidated by every edit? * TS: similar to data pipelines like page content service * TS: similar to links tables * DK: have some kind of “slow” page_props. * TS: will lead to race conditions * GL: wikitext for every page may mean considerable volume * DK: might fit the generalized parser cache. Would have to be even more generalized. * DK: Dependency Engine may solve part of this, though not storage == EventStream needs timestamps == * DA: EventStream needs timestamps, which some event hooks are missing. * Pass LogEntry objects to relevant hooks? * DK: adding parameters to hooks is a breaking interface change. * TS: hook deprecation mechanism should take care of this. * DA: ArticleDelete hook exposes it already, works well, getTimestamp. Can do for others. * TT: In light of T212482, be sure to type against a narrower getter-only interface as the set/save methods must not be used at that point. * DK: That’s a good idea also to enable async hooks, safe to serialize value objects. NonSerializable trait may be useful https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/core/+/625612 == Next week IRC office hours == No IRC discussion scheduled for next week.
