Report from 21 March 2017 Change Control Board meeting.
See also Change requests of interest to DM.
Discussions of:
- LCR-908 (keep all releases spinning): Included discussion of the interpretation of an LSR-level requirement to make (old) data recomputable on demand. Do we already have to do this? Requires a substantive intra-DM discussion. Mario Juric: we have promised this to users.Gregory Dubois-Felsmann: we have not adequately costed a requirement to maintain a service that can run DR1 code in Year 11 to regenerate non-persisted data products on demand. There is no debate that we are required to maintain enough information (data, code, calibrations) to permit a motivated party to set up the recomputations.
- Proposed change request to keep Processed Visit Images (PVIs, a/k/a calexps) on disk for active releases: Current baseline is to keep only most recent 30 days and recreate others on demand. Recreation on-demand requires staging raw data from tape and then reprocessing through at least the single-visit level of processing. Latency for a request could be 10s of minutes, more depending on demand and on contention for tape drives. Need to estimate demand.
- Unknown User (ciardi) to prepare the science case for PVI storage. NCSA will provide an initial sizing estimate.
- Proposed change request to keep HeavyFootprints on disk for active releases: Current baseline is that these are discarded after processing and must be recomputed by re-running deblending. No clear statement in our design that a HeavyFootprint-recomputation service will be provided.
- Jim Bosch and DRP to prepare the science case and estimate the amount of storage required.
- Jim Bosch and DRP to prepare the science case and estimate the amount of storage required.
- Beth Willman (at CCB meeting last week): Change requests should be submitted before May in order for them to be taken into account in the operations proposal.
- Mario Juric: aim at "1/2 page" for science cases
Gregory Dubois-Felsmann: suggests that we work toward a more formal internal process for analyzing and flowing down project-level change requests.
Discuss DM attendance at:
- Edinburgh (Robert Lupton)
- Lyon
- IVOA in Shanghai - Fritz Mueller wants Kenny Lo and Brian Van Klaveren to attend and ...
- Fritz Mueller will write a justification for this travel (IVOA Shanghai).
- DMLT F2F meeting - early May in Seattle? There is a PST meeting scheduled for May 8 and 9 in Seattle, so maybe we can work around this since staff from the East coast will be flying in for this meeting.
- Unknown User (lpetrick) will send out a Doodle poll today to capture everyone's availability the first two weeks of May. Here are the poll results:
Unknown User (xiuqin) on vacation this week. Gregory Dubois-Felsmann will be on vacation on Tuesday and Friday of next week ( and ).
- Sizing Model Seminar to be presented by Kian-Tat Lim on Wednesday, 3/29, from 11-1 Pacific (BlueJeans 293724745 (DMLT, ls.st/jmc)).
- Software Distribution Policy - Frossie Economou has been in discussion with Scott Daniel and Mike Reuter re CentOS or binaries; here is a link to discussion notes:

NCSA is asking about requirements for data challenges and operational dress rehearsals, for planning purposes including hardware acquisition; Mario Juric will talk off-line and get this started.
