Details

  • 5.3

    • Milestone
    • Hoping to ship this week
    • review custom release notes for large deployment (private link)
      • Interest from an existing deployment in cold storage. @antony is corresponding with them.
      • @antony and @elijah discussing how to work with one county’s worth of data to test the upgrade
      • point folks to forum thread about how to use cold storage to start learning how to use this
      • Elijah interest in possibly having cold storage not be on the same couch server - stewardship this feels like a premature optimization. let’s get the feature out to get get feedback on how it works.
    • add move contact hierarchy feature
      • is not completed yet, but has a possible index change, so considering including it in 5.3 to lump all index changes in one release as 5.3 has a number of index changes
      • should not block 5.3, but Josh feels it’s a small change
      • see last week’s notes for 3 options being considered.
      • Going with option 2: Update Docs by replication key to index contact submitter- it has submitter contact ID already, but it is not indexed.
      • @jkuester to submit PR and get it merged this week
  • index changes

    • mrjones’ testing showed 2.8% disk reduction - see private slack thread
    • discuss if low single disk savings is worth shipping in 5.3 or if we should revert and ship 5.3 without index changes
    • will schedule 30 min call with tom, mrjones, diana & josh to decide on next steps
  • cold storage forum post

    • mrjones wanting to make sure forum post is accurate and helpful
    • Diana to read up on forum post and comment time permitting
