Time | Item | Who | Notes |

| Infrastructure / NCSA | Unknown User (jalt) | - Discussing how we are going to do OS updates in the PDAC cluster
- How to apply updates without disrupting operations
- Gregory Dubois-Felsmann says: we would like 24 hours' notice for unscheduled OS changes and reboots
- For user-facing services we are only promising 15-30
- We will start observing NCSA's routine patch day on PDAC: 8-10 Central 3rd Thursday
- Trey Roby: please post a summary to #dm-pdac channel
- Particularly concerned to know about reboots and about changes in filesystems
- Unknown User (jalt): we can take "exclude lists" of packages not to be updated
- Rough prototype of monitoring system running (based on Grafana), writing a document about it
|
| imgserv cutout services | | - Kenny Lo's work reviewed and on Github, containers built, working on deployment today
- Brian Van Klaveren will be working on spinning up the new Docker images
- Kenny Lo will be writing a Confluence page about the current and new APIs
- Will include "I11" and "I12" as well as some other new work done by John Gates last year
- Kian-Tat Lim: please get the build-and-deploy process documented
- Fritz Mueller: looking into using Kubernetes for deployment over the next two months, initially testing at IN2P3
|
| metaserv | Brian Van Klaveren | - Both old and new versions of
metaserv running, but no actual metadata for the PDAC tables. - Waiting for IPAC request for "20 favorite columns"
|
| WISE database loading | | - "Object"-like and "ForcedSource"-like table data downloaded and reformatted for MySQL ingest in December, partitioned for Qserv (~150,000 partitions)
- Partitioning was on columns with the plain names "ra" and "dec" in both tables, and on the obvious foreign-key relationship between the tables. Referential integrity & consistency between the two spot-checked.
- Overlap and data location will permit spatial joins between the Stripe 82 and WISE Object-like tables out to a 1 arcmin radius
- Some discussion of whether the "substripe" scheme is optimal
- Loading "Object"-like table into Qserv - tables loaded, now generating secondary indexes
- Expecting to be able to test access through Qserv by the end of the day
- Loading of "ForcedSource"-like tables awaits a restart of Qserv with updated containers (already built)
- Igor Gaponenko and Gregory Dubois-Felsmann will recover some work from December to document the IPAC metadata service API
|
| other database / DAX / SLAC |
| - John Gates is working on improved handling / scheduling of Qserv queries with large result sizes
|
| SUIT / IPAC |
| - Trey Roby Early next week we will be ready to deploy our time-series viewer, assuming things work out with the cutout service
- Questions about user table upload (e.g., to support bulk cone-search queries)
- Fritz Mueller: Yes, there will be DAX support for this
- For now, bulk queries will have to be done by iterating over single queries; should work at the level of 20 simultaneous queries being launched (c.f. underlying
webserv 40-process pool) - Note that our new user is already interested in scales more like 10^3 to 10^5 objects in bulk queries.
