Dear Wikimedia ops team,
The most recent enwiki dump now seems to have finished _almost_
successfully, apart from the dumping of the database metadata tables
such as the pages table and the various links tables, almost all of
which have failed.
I wonder if there is any chance someone could give this a kick, and
re-try the dumping of these tables to finish the dump?
It's rerunning the tables now.
Since this seems to have happened several times now,
could it be worth
considering automating re-trying in this sort of situation, to improve
dump reliability for the future without needing manual intervention?
Because the reasons for failure are varied (ranging from hardware
failure to dbs being unreachable to broken MediaWiki code being
deployed), automating restarts isn't practical; typically someone needs
to find out what the underlying cause is and take appropriate action.
