Perfomatic:Meeting Notes

Aug 28

• Got more Perfomatic:Requirements feedback
• Code freeze tonight @ 11:59pm PST
• Push Tuesday
• Any bugs that look like they can't be finished by eod, move to 0.5
• Not all bugs are equal, I (Ryan) need to review each one to make sure people don't have more than one huge bug per sprint.
• Laura moving off of graph server

Aug 21

• We have a QA resource, Stephen!
• Creating mailing list: graphserver@mozilla.com
• Got some feedback (barely)
• A lot of test data here (22MB unzipped): http://people.mozilla.org/~rdoherty/graphserver/test_data.sql.zip
• RRDtool
  • "RRDtool is the OpenSource industry standard, high performance data logging and graphing system for time series data."
  • Could this be a 'good enough' solution to deal with our large data volume?
  • Averages and compresses data over time to stop files from becoming huge.
• We need to remove old series data, probably anything older than 60 days.

Aug 14

• Catch Ryan up on current state of graph server
  • 100% on hg: YES!
  • stage is auto-update every 10 mins
• Set a schedule for when to push changes to prod
• Can we get someone to QA bugs?
  • Ryan to find someone to verify bugs
• Moved 0.3 to 0.4
• Schedule 0.4 deadline
• Possible review of suggestions from BZ, dbaron and Vlad
  • Sheriffs, dolske & jonas
• SELECT id, machine, test, test_type, date, extra_data, branch FROM dataset_info WHERE type = 'discrete' AND test_type != 'baseline' and (date >= 0)
  • Index on type
• 0.4 milestone is still a 'get it working' milestone.
  • Linking is important
  • Displaying data is important
  • Move any trivial or unrelated bugs to 0.5
