O_O

the query works. but gives a blank result.

is ns1 their auth server, or a resolver?

not sure

if auth, then it's ok for it to refuse.

my guess is that we're only allowed to query via their resolvers, 72.29.161.2 and .1

as you say, firewall.

Anyway, all good now.

thanks again!

I'll go for a ride and then I'll work on getting services moved again.

this time I'll start with the mail-mx, since that was one thing I never tested.

OH. one more Q.

or two.

?

the logger service that we have running on an ip...

10.1.1.249 -- what is it and how do I test it?

same goes for .246 -- monitor.

249 is on scooby. It's a syslog service. It's up to us to define if it's useful, I guess.

.246 is the source address used by the gateways when they query machines on the network for nagios checks.

249 is not in use then?

so nothing "runs on" .246

well. scooby is still up, and it has that IP...

oh, scooby.

ok, I'll nuke that from the list and then only do a ping test on .246

that should suffice, yes?

Not sure what you mean.

If you want a syslogger, then ~something~ needs to have that IP, and log what it receives.

If not, then ~meh~.

testing wise -- that when I move the IP, I just need to ping .246 and if response, I'm done.

I'll just leave .249 alone for the time being, since I'm not touching scooby.

For 246, the symptom of getting it wrong will be failing nagios checks on many machines.

very obvious, in other words. :)

good good.

Assuming we still use nagios :_)

we do.

I recently spent some time cleaning things up a bit.

finally, we'd love a clue (or fix, if your up for it) on this:

during some failure, carl running out of disk, i think, these graphs stopped. ian has looked at it, but couldn't work out the issue.

all of the nginx-rrd graphs stopped working.

eww. OK. Will look later.

lol

k.

I'm off for a ride then.

thanks!

ruaok: "lsmod now needs a sort option,", it has one: `man sort` ;)

Gentlecat: importing the first incremental dump doesn’t work - conflicts with the statistics table

maybe incremental always dumps all statistics?

yep https://github.com/metabrainz/acousticbrainz-se...

also, AB-44

which is more urgent

we import highlevel first

but it has a FK to lowlevel

so once you have FK constraints set up, this fails

one final question, does the dump of highlevel only dump things that we also did in lowlevel? or still based on the dates?

you are importing data using import_data command, right?

yes

if a low-level track is submitted, timestamp x, we create a dump point x + 1, then the highlevel of that track is created x + 2, then we perform the dump at x + 3

yeah, I guess we should drop constraints there before importing like it's done in init_db

is the highlevel track included?

or left for the next one, because it was created after the date in the dump table

yeah, dropping constraints could be dangerous… I’m not sure

should the mirror be unavailable during an import?

can you ask me your question about the data editor again? I didn’t understand it https://github.com/metabrainz/acousticbrainz-se...

to your first question: everything is based on dates right now

so it is assumed that you have all previous incremental dumps imported before that

maybe we should do something different for json dumps

that’s not exactly what I’m asking - there may be a possible race condition that incremental dump 2 has the lowlevel row, but the highlevel row won’t appear until incr dump 3

oh, and highlevel data is going to be calculated before next dump is imported?

don’t worry about a mirror - assume that the mirror doesn’t run any highlevel computation, or accept submission

ok, I don't understand what the problem is then

let me find the code and see if it’s a problem

this uses `now()` as the value for `highlevel.submitted`

so, highlevel.submitted is always later in time than lowlevel.submitted - because the high level tool runs in batches

right

this means there’s a theoretical condition where I could set a incremental dump to include all submissions that occur before a set time

and this time could include the lowlevel for a track, but not the highlevel

and you want that highlevel data to be in the same incremental dump?

yes, I think it makes senese

so for https://github.com/metabrainz/acousticbrainz-se... we should join to lowlevel to get the submission date

but think about how it would work if you need to create next incremental dump and highlevel data is not calculated yet

yes, this is also a problem

from cron job, let's say

2 solutions: 1) always do an incremental dump from earlier than now - so a dump at 3pm only accepts tracks submitted up to 2pm

2) since the lowlevel dump is going to take so long, we can assume that highlevel will be ready by then

and it means we need to make sure that all lowlevel datasets have highlevel caluclated before allowing to create a dump

or 3) ...

yeah, what you said

actually verify beforehand

otherwise it will cause a lot of conflicts and you aren't going to be able to import anything

do you understand the problem now? can you write an issue that you understand

I don't quite understand why it is a problem

that you have to wait for a month for that highlevel data if it's missing?

yes

ok, yeah

the majority of people who will run a mirror will be running it because they actually want this information

should they be able to calculate highlevel data on their mirrors?

no

and no submissions, right?

yeah

because "mirror", got it

but for now, probably just informally

that is, we allow them to if they want to, but with no guarantees as to what happens the next time they try and load an incremental

yeah

the main people we should support are those who just want a copy of the database

we can try and support others who are a bit more tech-savvy and can work around issues that they might create

but we shouldn’t go out of our way to do stuff if it makes more work for us

can you create a ticket so we can keep track of all that?

ok

I'll think how to implement all that

:D

Are there any plans shutting down WS/1 or will it continue to be available for the next couple of years?

probably next week, still have some other things I need to get done

Sebastinas: years might be stretching it

at a guess, it might disappear when we release ws/3, but that’s barely in the planning stage yet

why do you still want to use ws1?

I don't. I'd like to push for a removal of libmusicbrainz3 which still uses WS/1.

(In Debian)

ahh

Having a date would make that a lot easier.

does anything still depend on it?

kicad and gnome-mplayer

urg

s/kicad/kscd/

ah, that looks better

I can’t give you a more concrete answer

you could get better feedback if you posted to the musicbrainz-devel mailing list

alastairp: I updated that comment about data editor. Is it still unclear?

my feeling is that no one here will have bad feelings if the bindings disappear, but I understand if that’s not a strong enough statement for you

Gentlecat: ah, right. yeah, I expected that someone who wanted to view the dataset could also see the metadata

it would be more friendly than MBIDs, for sure

if there was no plan to show metadata on ‘view’, I would argue that it’s not needed on ‘create’ either

but if we do show metadata, anywhere in the editor, it should be cached through the server

certain amount of time, is what I was thinking

not sure which "view" and "create" you are talking about

I assume we'll need some way to display public datasets on the website

Freso: I'm too lazy to type " | sort" :)

create - when someone is making a dataset and adding a mbid to a class

view, when someone is looking at all of the things in a dataset

poor postgres

not happy with acousticbrainz=> delete from highlevel_json;

truncate is much faster.

oh. I guess I should have used truncate
