On good faith: why don't we use mysqldump?
|
|
Hello.
Yesterday, I was moving around mysqldump files of our processed databases from parsed Wikipedia dumps, and this simple question came to my mind.
Is there any special reason to use an "ad-hoc" XML schema for Wikipedia dumps?
Could a mysqldump on every language edition slow down the Wikipedia MySQL server?
I guess some problem could arise, and that's why we don't use it. Otherwise, perhaps we could consider creating such mysqldump, to speed up the import process back to our local servers, instead of having to parse a huge XML file.
That's specially true for the very large meta-history.xml versions. And you still can filter out sensible tables (user, etc.).
Regards,
Felipe.
