From bug 52928 comment 1: > Therefore I've renamed it to "links_old" for now, to be dropped after a > suitable cooling-off period. Consequently, we're now seeing this error: --- MariaDB [enwiki_p]> select * from links limit 1; ERROR 1356 (HY000): View 'enwiki_p.links' references invalid table(s) or column(s) or function(s) or definer/invoker of view lack rights to use them --- The "links" view should be updated. (Are the views in Puppet?)
(Are the views in Puppet?) Yes and no; the scripts that maintains them is in git at: https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/operations%2Fsoftware/71f53cb204f53dba2fe3a30567aee659711cb8cf/maintain-replicas%2Fmaintain-replicas.pl (views should be updated) Given that the table is on its way to crossing the Styx, it's not clear to me whether it is worth it to create a links_old view or just eliminate links entirely.
All views were updated and, given that the data is redundant, no views to the obsolede links_old will be made.
