[Wikimetrics] How long should report be in "pending" status?

[Vesa Linja-aho]

Hello,

I familiarized myself with Wikimetrics here in Wikimedia conference. I
managed to make one report which will return empty results because the
start and end dates are the same, but when I made new ones, they are in
"pending" status for many hours.

First I thought that the problem is that because I set the end date in
future, the report is pending until the end time is reached. But: then I
made another report with past end date and have the same problem. Can
anyone see the what is the problem? My username is "Vesa Linja-aho".

Hi Vesa,

Both of those reports now show up as "success" status in the Wikimetrics
database. Could you do me a favor: log in to Wikimetrics and click "My
Reports" to see what status is listed there now?

To answer your basic question: how long a report takes to run depends on a
lot of factors. If it's a large cohort, or a cohort that generates a lot of
data, if it's a complex query to the Wikipedia database, if the Wikipedia
database is not up to date, if the connection between Wikimetrics and the
database is experiencing trouble, if there are sunspots*... you get the
idea ;) But if those reports *still *show up as pending for you, or if you
are frequently experiencing 1+ hour wait times for your reports to finish,
that's probably a sign of a specific bug. So please keep us posted?

Thanks for your help,
Jonathan

The wikimetrics report queue stopped over the weekend because of some nasty
error. I think it was a fluke and I just logged in and restarted it.
That's why initially the report was not happening and then it worked later
when I restarted the queue. Sorry for the confusion and maybe run the
report again just to make sure there was no corruption while it was stalled.
