[18:32:47] good evening, it seems on SMW 2.4, it is possible under certain conditions for a mass delete of pages to trigger a huge message queue spike [18:33:01] http://narutofanon.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=SahaTo&limit=263 - 263 pages deleted in 15 minutes generated over 1mln background tasks [18:35:04] interestingly the deletes themselves (which finished at 19:04 CEST) generated a backlog of "only" 30K tasks, then at around 19:23 CEST something happened which caused the job queue to rapidly spike to 1mln [18:36:03] do you have any pointers on where to continue the investigation? [19:17:29] some more details: in previous investigations we tied the occurrence to this to the fact we use a parallel execution task queue as opposed to core MW's sequential one - for this reason SMW queue has specifically lower concurrency [19:17:46] however this can trigger such issues sometimes (usually every few months)
