Given the <a href="https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Eqiad_Migration_Planning/Steps" class="extiw" title="wikitech:Eqiad Migration Planning/Steps">scale and complexity</a> of the migration, we scheduled three 8-hour windows to perform the migration, but we were <a class="external text" href="https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-January/065892.html">able to complete it</a> on the first attempt. Because the switchover involved, among other things, moving over the master databases from Tampa to Ashburn, the site was set to 'read-only' mode for about 32 minutes. During that period, the site was available but no new contents were created, edited or uploaded. As expected, there was some minor fallout of the migration, mostly due to configuration changes, but they were quickly contained by the Engineering and Operation teams.</dd> <dd>With this migration, Tampa data center will now be our fail-over site and we plan to perform site fail-over tests every few months. There are remaining small non-core applications still using Tampa as the primary site, such as RT, etherpad and Bugzilla. They too will be migrated in the coming months.</dd></dl> <p><b>Site infrastructure</b> </p> <dl><dd>One of the main concerns of the migration was serving traffic from the new data center using empty memcached servers: the spike in load on the Apache and database servers could have been disastrous to the site. To address it, Tim Starling improved on the single instance implementation of 'Parser Cache' persistent store in Tampa (to 3 sharded instances), and Asher Feldman built and replicated the databases across the 2 data centers.</dd> <dd>Another improvement, done by Asher and Peter Youngmeister, was the implementation of <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://code.google.com/p/mysql-master-ha/">MHA</a> (Master High Availability) on our MySQL clusters. Its primary objective is to automate the promotion of a slave database in a master database fail-over scenario and to to reduce downtime, without suffering from replication integrity problems, without prolong database latency, and without changing existing deployments.</dd> <dd>Faidon Liambotis and Mark Bergsma continued to work on the Ceph file object store. With Domas Mituzas' help, they identified a performance issue with the RAID card which caused severe read/write latency on the Ceph cluster. Faidon has confirmed with the vendor that it is a known problem and no fix is available yet. We have ordered and substituted those RAID cards, and test results seem to indicate that the performance issue is solved.</dd></dl> <p><b>Fundraising</b> </p> <dl><dd>Fundraising bastion hosts were deployed in the Ashburn and Tampa data centers. We also tweaked and tuned central logging and monitoring, and converted the remaining fundraising MyISAM tables to InnoDB, which should fix dump-induced replication lag.</dd></dl> <p><b><a href="/wiki/WMF_Projects/Data_Dumps" title="WMF Projects/Data Dumps">Data Dumps</a></b> </p> <dl><dd>This month, we had a look at the process of using the XML dumps to create a local copy of a Wikimedia site: it turned out to be painful and cumbersome at best, and unfathomable for the end-user in the worst case. As part of an attempt to improve this situation, there is now a <a class="external text" href="https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=operations/dumps.git;a=tree;f=xmlfileutils;h=47995d9e8aea8a1d0dc7fb12c4152f2010daeb6a;hb=ariel">new experimental tool</a> available for *nix platforms, for generating MySQL tables from the XML stub and page content files. It is intended to read input files from various versions of MediaWiki and generate output for the version the user wants. Testing and feedback is encouraged.</dd></dl> <p><b><a href="/wiki/Wikimedia_Labs" title="Wikimedia Labs">Wikimedia Labs</a></b> </p> <dl><dd>In January, we had a number of performance and usability improvements. Three compute nodes were added into the pmtpa zone. Alex Monk added Echo notification support to labsconsole, passwordless sudo is now the default for projects, and shell requests are created automatically on account creation. The sysadmin and netadmin roles have been combined into a single projectadmin role. Glusterfs was upgraded to handle a memory leak, but unfortunately a new bug has been introduced that caused some instability in project storage.

The alpha version of the VisualEditor on mediawiki.org and the English Wikipedia was updated twice (<a href="/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21/wmf7#VisualEditor" title="MediaWiki 1.21/wmf7">1.21-wmf7</a> and <a href="/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21/wmf8#VisualEditor" title="MediaWiki 1.21/wmf8">-wmf8</a>), fixing a number of bugs reported by the community and making some adjustments to the link inspector's functionality based on feedback.</div> <p><b><a href="/wiki/Parsoid" title="Parsoid">Parsoid</a></b> <span class="plainlinks noprint mw-statushelper-editlink" style="margin: 0 0 0 1em; font-size:80%; background:#e4e4e4;" data-statuspage="Parsoid/status" data-entrydate="2013-01-monthly">[<a class="external text" href="https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Parsoid/status&veaction=edit">edit</a>]</span> </p> <div style="margin: 0 0 0 2em;" class="mw-statushelper-entry" id="Parsoid" data-statuspage="Parsoid/status" data-entrydate="2013-01-monthly">In January, the <a href="/wiki/Parsoid" title="Parsoid">Parsoid</a> team did some Spring cleaning and bug fixing. The serialization subsystem was overhauled: it now features simpler and more robust separator handling. Selective serialization was rewritten to deal with content deletions. It also features DOM diff-based change detection that does not rely on client-side change marking. Support for non-English wikis and local configurations was also improved a lot, and will likely stabilize in the next weeks. The team also discussed and documented the longer-term Parsoid / MediaWiki strategy in the <a href="/wiki/Parsoid/Roadmap" class="mw-redirect" title="Parsoid/Roadmap">Parsoid roadmap</a>. The performance-oriented C++ port was deprioritized in favor of DOM-based performance improvements and HTML storage. The basic idea behind storing (close to) fully processed HTML is to speed things up by doing no significant parsing on page view at all. In the longer term, VisualEditor-only wikis can avoid a dependency on Parsoid by switching to HTML storage exclusively. Overall, the plan is to leverage the Parsoid-generated HTML/RDFa DOM format inside MediaWiki core to enable better performance and editing capabilities in the future.</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Editor_engagement_features" data-mw-thread-id="h-Editor_engagement_features-Features_Engineering"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Editor_engagement_features-Features_Engineering"></span>Editor engagement features<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Editor_engagement_features-Features_Engineering"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Engineering/Report/2013/January&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Editor engagement features"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b><a href="/wiki/Echo_(Notifications)" class="mw-redirect" title="Echo (Notifications)">Echo (Notifications)</a></b> <span class="plainlinks noprint mw-statushelper-editlink" style="margin: 0 0 0 1em; font-size:80%; background:#e4e4e4;" data-statuspage="Echo (Notifications)/status" data-entrydate="2013-01-monthly">[<a class="external text" href="https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Echo_(Notifications)/status&veaction=edit">edit</a>]</span> </p> <div style="margin: 0 0 0 2em;" class="mw-statushelper-entry" id="Echo_(Notifications)" data-statuspage="Echo (Notifications)/status" data-entrydate="2013-01-monthly">This month, we stepped up development on the Notifications project <i>Echo</i> and updated our first experimental release on mediawiki.org.

The team will be spending their next iteration tweaking workflows and styling the app. We also released new versions of the Wikipedia app on iOS and Android in order to bring it into compliance for legal privacy/disclaimer issues.</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Partners" data-mw-thread-id="h-Partners-Mobile"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Partners-Mobile"></span>Partners<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Partners-Mobile"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikimedia_Engineering/Report/2013/January&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Partners"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_Zero" title="Wikipedia Zero">Wikipedia Zero</a></b> <span class="plainlinks noprint mw-statushelper-editlink" style="margin: 0 0 0 1em; font-size:80%; background:#e4e4e4;" data-statuspage="Wikipedia Zero/status" data-entrydate="2013-01-monthly">[<a class="external text" href="https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_Zero/status&veaction=edit">edit</a>]</span> </p> <div style="margin: 0 0 0 2em;" class="mw-statushelper-entry" id="Wikipedia_Zero" data-statuspage="Wikipedia Zero/status" data-entrydate="2013-01-monthly">During January, Wikimedia was <a class="external text" href="https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/01/17/wikimedia-foundation-winner-of-knight-news-challenge/">awarded a grant</a> in the Knight News Challenge for our work in expanding Wikimedia mobile projects.
