Otherwise latency for all tools query hundreds of wikis is increased by a couple orders of magnitude. See Platonides and Daniel for context/original proposal: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.labs/1381 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.labs/1392 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.labs/1399
They exist, but are named "sX.labsdb" For instance, enwiki.labsdb is equal to s1.labsdb.
Pathos confirmed that this is in use but was not enough. :( https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Pathoschild&diff=6829857&oldid=6827054
The latency issue is known, and will be fixed by the impending move of labs to Ashburn. Right now, the latency (~26ms) is completely unavoidable since it's the actual transmission time between where Labs is and where the database replicas are. This can be worked around by batching queries, or doing things in parallel. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 53987 ***
This is not a duplicate, please don't mess things up.
How do you figure this is not a duplicate?
Can someone point me to docs for this feature? The only mention I find, with full text search on all namespaces, is a single "s3.labsdb" in a code comment of an unrelated section: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Nova_Resource:Tools/Help#Metadata_database
