Breakpad/Status Meetings/2008-Dec-3

ideas

• store user ids of reports selected manually for priority jobs, auto-process if seen again
• link to crash report immediately in crash report dialog so people know how to see it right away

deferred job status

• deferred jobs cleanup script wasn't working as expected
• aravind wrote a secondary script to scan and delete deferred files older than a certain date
• no rush to push updated cleanup script, have time to do it right
• 1.5T available
  • 158G available by symbols
  • 375G left as of 1132am 12/3
• at 75% of capacity, 375G left
• before cleanup we were at 95% capacity
• database requirements - 200G disk, 67%
  • can we archive partitions older than 120 days

deferred job space solutions

• right way
  • client-side feasibility of gzipping in crash report client
  • can stackwalk be modified to accept/determine gzip vs. uncompressed
• right but hacky way
  • gzipping in collector raises cpu load in the webheads
  • have stackwalk detect gzip and inflate as necessary
• not so right and hacky way
  • gzipping in collector raises cpu load in the webheads
  • processor inflates before calling stackwalk
• crappy way
  • have a secondary process gzipping deferred jobs, hoping there aren't collisions
  • processor tries/fails between compressed and uncompressed
• get bigger disks
  • possible, but not really necessary
• shorten deferred jobs lifetime
  • 12 days? 10 days?
