For the commons, it seems that page moves for files (done from the api) are very slow...is this normal?
Smallman: Which exact API command do you use? What does "very slow" mean, as this is rather subjective?
By slow, I meant 10+ seconds. The files moved were pdfs 3+ MB in size. The files were moved by smallbot on the commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Smallbot in the category: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Gerald_R._Ford_Presidential_Library_and_Museum_series:_Budget_Review_Decision_Papers I used: HTTP POST w/ "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=move from=<from>&to=<to>&token=<token>&reason=<reason>&noredirect=&format=xml Is data (blobs) actually being copied over in a move, or is the identifier the only thing being changed?
I'm going to cc Aaron Schulz because he's involved with swift (I think), and this sounds likely to be a swift issue.
Note that we are still writing to swift+NFS synchronously, so it's slower than just writing to one alone. Swift also has high PUT latency, and to less extent DELETE latency.
How common is 10+ seconds now? Multiwrite has since been turned off.
Smallman: Can you answer comment 5, please?
Unfortunately closing this report as no further information has been provided. Smallman: Please feel free to reopen this report if you can provide the information asked for in comment 5 now that Multiwrite is turned off, and if this still happens. Thanks!
