Meeting 20111109
Development[edit]
- Joseph has been testing and such with scalability issues
- Successes with a large number of files
- He will build today the path around the watched directories for SIP creation
- He thinks he still need to look at the thread creation (SIP creation)... looks like some threads spawn and aren't removed. Deciding how to manage that, might get bumped to 0.9.
- Peter suggests to have a scalability refactor discussion very early on in the 0.9 development schedule.
- There are lot of remaining issues, a Monday code freeze is not realistic
- We can bump code freeze by a week, that then still leaves 2 weeks between code freeze and release.
- Evelyn to update the issue list and mark more criticals now that we're getting close
- Austin: ace is up and monitoring ~1000 documents
- Meeting scheduled on Mon, Nov 14 11am
Documentation[edit]
Evelyn updated Significant characteristics of raster images wiki page
Deployment[edit]
- Tomorrow, CVA and UBC
- Evelyn and Austin will do the RAC install the week of Dec 12
- That could get us an extra week in the 0.8 dev schedule
Chat log[edit]
(10:34:09 AM) peterVG: okay, let's roll (10:34:29 AM) berwin22: Been testing and such with scalability issues (10:34:44 AM) berwin22: Successes with a large number of files (10:34:51 AM) epmclellan: nice! (10:35:02 AM) epmclellan: that's been a big issue this past week (10:35:16 AM) epmclellan: Sevein has been doing all kinds of dashboard dev (10:35:20 AM) berwin22: today I'll build the path around the watched directories for SIP creation (10:35:41 AM) peterVG: okay (10:36:03 AM) peterVG: so the background story to ^ this is that we're running into what appears to be a Python threading limitation (10:36:16 AM) Sevein: yep, I did a big refactor in the dashboard pages using twitter bootstrap and lot of new code to manage transfer and sips individually (10:36:26 AM) berwin22: I think I still need to look at the thread creation there (sip creation)... looks like some threads spawn and aren't removed. Deciding how to manage that. Might get bumped to 0.9 (10:36:30 AM) peterVG: which means we have a small, hard cap on total number of files that can be processed at once (10:37:14 AM) peterVG: ...and we'll have to skip/have ability to turn off Transfer SIP creation for 0.8 as it (appears to) spawn a thread for each file in the Transfer area (10:37:14 AM) djjuhasz: :( (10:37:45 AM) peterVG: so we'll have to have a scalibility refactor discussion very early on in the 0.9 development schedule. (10:37:47 AM) berwin22: I did some more testing on that. I think it's for each SIP/Transfer (10:37:57 AM) djjuhasz: sounds like some reasonable compromise (10:38:03 AM) berwin22: I may be able to get around it, spent some time looking into it yesterday. (10:38:18 AM) peterVG: berwin22: fingers crossed (10:38:31 AM) berwin22: I'm finding it challenging to debug python threads. (10:39:20 AM) berwin22: Looking at the calendar... Monday is code freeze, and tomorrow we're at CVA (10:39:40 AM) epmclellan: I updated the scalability testing page: http://www.archivematica.org/wiki/index.php?title=Scalability_testing (10:39:42 AM) berwin22: I think there are other issues we wanted me to work on before release (10:39:59 AM) epmclellan: there are a lot of remaining issues, a Monday code freeze is not realistic (10:40:04 AM) peterVG: agreed (10:40:07 AM) epmclellan: quite a few METS issues (10:40:08 AM) ARTi2: cva&ubc? (10:40:21 AM) epmclellan: ARTi2: I'll be at CVA (10:40:27 AM) epmclellan: youdon't really need me at UBC (10:40:36 AM) ARTi2: ok (10:40:47 AM) epmclellan: Lisa will be there, she has been experiencing the problems (10:40:53 AM) epmclellan: and can explain/test them (10:41:07 AM) epmclellan: anyway, yes, we have quite a few outstanding issues (10:41:09 AM) ARTi2: great (10:41:15 AM) epmclellan: and some more will crop as dashboard changes are made (10:41:37 AM) epmclellan: because sometimes issues don't become apparent until you use the new dashboard features (10:41:44 AM) epmclellan: but I'll try to be realistic :) (10:41:51 AM) peterVG: epmclellan & ARTi2 would you guys be able to do the RAC install the week of Dec 12? (10:41:56 AM) epmclellan: yes (10:42:05 AM) peterVG: that could get us an extra week in the 0.8 dev schedule (10:42:06 AM) ARTi2: yes (10:42:12 AM) peterVG: okay, good. (10:42:14 AM) epmclellan: assuming we can get flights (10:42:19 AM) epmclellan: it's the busy season (10:42:25 AM) epmclellan: we'd better book asap (10:42:33 AM) peterVG: hmm, yes. let's get on that today then. first i'll confirm dates with RAC (10:42:37 AM) epmclellan: don't wanna go to New York via the Yukon (10:42:41 AM) peterVG: for sure (10:42:52 AM) ARTi2: ;-) (10:42:54 AM) peterVG: but let's assume that's the plan. we can bump code freeze by a week (10:43:00 AM) epmclellan: peterVG: and with the UN? (10:43:20 AM) epmclellan: dates, I mean (10:43:21 AM) peterVG: that then still leaves 2 weeks between code freeze and release (10:43:36 AM) peterVG: epmclellan: yes, I'll confirm those as well. tag a day onto RAC (10:43:41 AM) epmclellan: ok, thx (10:44:49 AM) epmclellan: ARTi2: re scalability testing (10:44:58 AM) epmclellan: can we have zip of Corpora files on wiki? (10:45:04 AM) epmclellan: For testing purposes (10:45:24 AM) peterVG: so do we have the list of criticals for code freeze then? http://code.google.com/p/archivematica/issues/list?can=2&q=milestone=Release-0.8&sort=priority&colspec=ID%20Milestone%20Component%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Owner%20Summary (10:45:40 AM) epmclellan: I think I need to mark more criticals (10:45:44 AM) epmclellan: now that we're getting close (10:45:54 AM) epmclellan: I've marked a lot of issues as high that are probably critical (10:45:56 AM) peterVG: is there an issue(s) for the transfer scalability & SIP scalablity problems? (10:46:03 AM) epmclellan: hmm (10:46:12 AM) epmclellan: I think so (10:46:25 AM) ARTi2: yes @ digicopora files (10:46:30 AM) epmclellan: thanks (10:46:59 AM) epmclellan: berwin22: I believe you filed the scalability issue? Just looking for it (10:47:00 AM) peterVG: ok, well we now have a hard deadline for the 0.8 code freeze so that will be the determinant on how many 'highs' we can accomodate as 'criticals' (10:47:21 AM) peterVG: should we book a mtg next week to review this list? (10:47:25 AM) ARTi2: ace is up and monitoring ~1000 documents (10:47:31 AM) berwin22: I filed one on our internal issues, not sure about google (10:47:33 AM) peterVG: ARTi2: v. cool! (10:47:41 AM) epmclellan: yes, it's very cool (10:47:54 AM) epmclellan: berwin22: can you put it on google too? (10:48:18 AM) epmclellan: peterVG: I'll assign what I think are the criticals, we can review next week (10:48:30 AM) peterVG: okay, let's schedule a mtg now (10:48:52 AM) peterVG: joseph isn't here on mon (10:48:57 AM) peterVG: i'm at ubc on tue (10:49:07 AM) peterVG: wed the 16th?

(10:50:14 AM) berwin22: yes, monday in (10:50:17 AM) berwin22: is the plan (10:50:18 AM) epmclellan: great (10:51:03 AM) peterVG: cool (10:51:04 AM) Sevein: Evelyn updated "Significant characteristics of raster images" wiki page (10:51:06 AM) peterVG: 11am?
