Mapdata API should use the FlaggedRevs stable revision ParserCache when appropriate
Closed, ResolvedPublic8 Estimated Story Points

Description

FlaggedRevs intercepts stable revision pageviews and stores ParserOutput in the ParserCache under a different key than the latest revisions. APIs on the other hand will use RevisionOutputCache, which will cause duplicated parsing work and lower cache hit rates. We want to fix this for at least the mapdata API, since we know it will be called for every page with a map.

Quick fix

  • Add code to the mapdata API to switch to the FlaggedRevs cache for stable pages.

Proper fix

  • Add a new hook to ParserOutputAccess to allow extensions to provide a ParserOutput when appropriate.
  • Implement this hook in FlaggedRevs, to provide stable-pcache content if it exists and store there after parsing.

[mediawiki/core@master] Change ParserOutputAccess workers to work with Status objects

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/777408

I was able to reproduce the CI error quite simply, by commenting out all of my local settings and including DevelopmentSettings.php

It was $wgKartographerVersionedMapdata = true;. Of course... without this setting the mapdata API won't try to fetch data from the older revision.

awight renamed this task from Integrate FlaggedRevs ParserCache into the ParserOutputAccess service when fetching the stable revision to Mapdata API should use the FlaggedRevs stable revision ParserCache when appropriate.Apr 13 2022, 12:22 PM

I ran several tests on the beta cluster[1] with this to see if we ever get a Stable cache miss in the logs. Currently I got nothing there. So I assume it works.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/773361

I ran several tests on the beta cluster[1] with this to see if we ever get a Stable cache miss in the logs. Currently I got nothing there. So I assume it works.

Once logging was enabled, we were also able to demonstrate the rare case when the stable cache is missed, and verified that the code path is executed and result looks correct.

For what it's worth, I think you made the right call to post-pone refactoring of this for now. It's definitely something we'll want to circle back to at some point, but it seems more risk to me than is useful and relevant stakeholders are busy with other refactors already that this is fine to call directly for the time being.

WMDE-Fisch moved this task from Demo to Done on the WMDE-TechWish-Sprint-2022-04-13 board.

Just a note that the code contains:

* FIXME: Once T304813 is resolved, MediaWiki core will be able to dynamically select the
* correct cache.  Until then, we're explicitly using the FlaggedRevs stable-revision cache to

Reading the above i'm guessing this part was actually not done as part of this ticket, so that comment isn't fully correct any longer ?

Good catch. We'll create an extra ticket for that solution and can alter the comment then.
