Catalog Postgres Exploration Effort

On May 22nd at 1500 UTC several OpenverseOpenverse Openverse is a search engine for openly-licensed media, including photos, audio, and video. Openverse is also the name for the collection of related code repositories that make up the project. find Openverse at https://openverse.org. members will be gathering for a meeting to discuss and engage in some exploratory operations on a copy of the catalog database to get a better sense of how Postgres performs given our current scale & purpose. This was spurred on by this discussion on the decoupling popularity calculations IP; I personally had a feeling regarding how certain Postgres changes would affect our query time, performance, etc., but based on the level of unpredictable behavior we’ve seen with the matview refresh, few of us feel confident about being able to predict outcomes with Postgres. We thought it might be useful to spend some time performing some exploratory operations & optimizations with Postgres!

Some things I think might be useful to try:

  • Reducing the width of the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. media table
  • Performing some normalization steps (e.g. pulling provider out into a separate table)
  • Adding an index on the provider column

Some ways that we could assess the performance changes of the above:

  • Have a sample set of data we use for upsert tests, one small (~1k rows) and another large (~100k rows)
  • Develop some sample updates we might perform (e.g. the thumbnail column update we tried to perform for Flickr which was projected to take an extremely long time)
  • A matview refresh or recreation

Our plan will be to create a new catalog DB instance based on a snapshot, and perform all the above against that instance. @olgabulat and @stacimc have confirmed to join the meeting, and Staci and I will continue to work on things together throughout the day while we’re co-located.

If folks have any suggestions for other operations or queries for us to test, we’d love to hear them! Hopefully we can come away from this with a better sense of “what will happen” when we change the catalog schema in certain ways 😁

MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. discussion

We had some meta discussion about the project process and documentation:

  • We discussed making addendums to project planning documents and created a new issue for handling such changes.
  • We confirmed that we should create issues for implementation plans, and @zackkrida created a PR to update the project documentation with a reminder: Add documentation for creating implementation plan issues #2010
  • It would be useful to update project thread issue bodies with the docs.openverse.org links for project plans and implementation plans after the PRs are merged. The generated docs are easier to read and will be up to date with any addendums. Issue created here.
  • A question was raised by @olgabulat with regards to the consent decisionmaking process: How do proposal authors know that the clarification round is over?
    • @aetherunbound suggested that the best heuristic is when all questions and comments from the assigned reviewers have been marked as “resolved” in the GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing..

Finally, we discussed the fact that we didn’t feel like there was availability to start new projects this month. There was general consensus that we currently have too many open projects. This was primarily attributed to some smaller projects lingering. We speculate that this was related to much of the meta work that emerged from the monorepo move and our efforts to rapidly improve https://docs.openverse.org. Both valuable, but unaccounted for, efforts.

The approach we would like to take here is to continue working on open projects with the intention of closing as many of the smaller projects as possible. Some examples being:

  • CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. UI improvements
  • Usage Analytics
  • Search relevancy sandbox
  • Popularity calculation optimizations

After that, we should be in a much better position to balance working on our larger initiatives and starting new projects at the same time.

At next month’s priorities meeting, if we do not feel that we made sufficient progress on closing open projects, we will begin to discuss taking action to adjust our expectations for the year, things like:

  • Rescheduling projects
  • Putting some projects on hold until 2024

Open Projects

We discussed open projects at length. Please, check out the notes for a description of each open project, but I’m going to pull out action items and highlights here:
