09:02 Dyrcona Interesting results from pgbench on my new hardware.
09:02 Dyrcona I get best read only throughput at 40 connections, but more connections seems better for read/write.
09:02 Dyrcona I'll share the raw results later.
09:14 Dyrcona It would be nice if I could benchmark our current production server for comparison.
09:14 Dyrcona I'm afraid that might interfere with performance too much.

10:05 Dyrcona Results of my testing are so far mixed. Read only seems to be highly connection-dependent.
10:05 Dyrcona Oddly, at 40 connections, the read only test performed 0.9% worse with ht on, but at 80 connections the results were 7.5% better with ht on.
10:08 * Dyrcona has no idea what the margin of error would be.....
10:08 miker Dyrcona: HT with PG is pretty dependent on both PG version and the on-die caches, fwiw
10:08 miker size of the caches, obv
10:08 Dyrcona miker: Yep, I'm aware of that.
10:09 miker and the shape of the workload, of course. I'm interested in the deets, btw :)
10:09 Dyrcona It's the same machine so same hardware and pg version between tests.
10:09 miker I figured it was the same machine, more just curious about the details
10:10 Dyrcona I also rebooted before starting each test run, initalized the pg bench tables each time, and haven't messed with cache deliberately.
10:10 Dyrcona I'll share the details later.
10:10 Dyrcona The hardware is kind of insane. :)
10:11 Dyrcona It will be a couple of hours, maybe tomorrow, before I can share.
10:12 Dyrcona I'm just starting the read/write tests with ht off.
10:12 Freddy_Enrique @coffee anyone
10:12 * pinesol_green brews and pours a cup of Ethiopia Yirga Cheffe Koke Espresso, and sends it sliding down the bar to anyone
10:13 Dyrcona Also, I'm using ZFS just because. :)
10:27 miker Dyrcona++ # TIA
11:11 jonadab I have heard good things about zfs.
11:12 Dyrcona miker: My simple testing shows a boost with HT on with Pg 9.5: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dU8iwKVBHt​PrOjULBe3oFnFxaB1tqT9T7Gxu740t6kM/edit?usp=sharing
11:13 Dyrcona I'll write something up about what I did and the hardware specs in a bit.
11:13 Dyrcona jonadab: Yeah, ZFS has been great so far. Very simple to set up on the NVMe drives. :)

11:33 miker aaaaand, LP is timing out on comments...
11:34 miker kmlussier: I think this is relevant to your interests: http://paste.evergreen-ils.org/435
11:35 kmlussier miker: Thanks! Looks like it's an easy enough fix.
11:53 berick can't remember, can you search marc tags / subfields via the regular query parser api -- specifically, the record bucket bib query input
11:56 berick @marc 500
11:56 pinesol_green berick: General information for which a specialized 5XX note field has not been defined. (Repeatable) [a,3,5,6,8]
12:05 Freddy_Enrique ohh...... so I can ask our friend pinesol for a specific marc tag. Ill give it a try
12:05 Freddy_Enrique @marc 952
12:05 pinesol_green Freddy_Enrique: unknown tag 952
12:05 Freddy_Enrique ok.......
12:05 berick heh
12:08 miker berick: nope. could be done with an addition to QP
12:09 berick miker: thanks.  may have lucked out in this case, found an index roughly matching the marc query I wanted to make
12:10 berick i guess the broader question, short of an index or QP change, it's not possible (in the UI) to easily go from marc tag query to bucket
12:38 jihpringle joined #evergreen
12:46 Dyrcona Freddy_Enrique: MARC tags > 900 are not defined in the standard. They are left alone for local use.
12:48 Freddy_Enrique Dyrcona: thanks, I wasnt aware of that
12:49 Freddy_Enrique btw, are you the same on the other forum?
12:49 Dyrcona Freddy_Enrique: That's true for the USA, it may be different in other countries. :)
12:49 Dyrcona Freddy_Enrique: Yes, I hang out in the koha channel to spy on the competition. :)
12:49 Freddy_Enrique Jajajajaja
12:50 Freddy_Enrique I dont know if that was a meeting or a fight session
12:50 Dyrcona But seriously, we sometimes collaborate on things.
12:50 Freddy_Enrique Really? koha and evergreen. Just imagine
12:51 Dyrcona In the end though, most of the things end up being incompatible.

13:51 Freddy_Enrique eh...kmlussier too :)
13:51 kmlussier Huh? What did I do?
13:51 Dyrcona Freddy_Enrique: You'll find a few of us in the koha channel.
13:51 Freddy_Enrique @me doesn't feel lonely on the other forum
13:51 pinesol_green Freddy_Enrique: git diff origin/hamster Fleshing children complete
13:52 Freddy_Enrique what did I....
13:52 Dyrcona You want /me
13:52 Freddy_Enrique Do not worry, I'm in the Koha channel watching some conversation
13:52 Freddy_Enrique yeah...my bad
13:53 Freddy_Enrique still getting used to it
13:53 Dyrcona If the bot sees what looks like a command it doesn't understand, it runs the dunno command.
13:53 bshum It's good to look at all the options out there
13:53 Dyrcona @dunno
13:53 pinesol_green Dyrcona: Have you tried throwing it across the room?
13:53 Freddy_Enrique I see!
13:53 bshum Fun group of folks in #koha
13:54 Freddy_Enrique You are right! ^_^
13:54 hbain joined #evergreen
13:54 * bshum still thinks KohaCon was awesome
13:54 Dyrcona :)
14:01 hbain Question: is Library of Congress data through z39.50 also a subscription service?
14:09 kmlussier hbain: No
14:10 hbain Does it require some other kind of setup? I don't get any results when searching
14:11 Dyrcona Is the government shutdown for some reason?
14:12 berick i just did an LoC Z39 author search for King on a dev server and got results.
14:12 berick no extra setup
14:12 Dyrcona That's a serious question because they do turn those services off during a shutdown.
14:13 hbain Okay, I'll talk to my tech guy! Thank you!
14:15 miker hbain: you'll need to be able to talk to the appropriate port, outbound (don't recall which OTTOMH).  Could be a firewall thing if your server is behind one.
14:15 miker s/you'll/your server will/
14:15 Dyrcona Usually port 210

15:29 Bmagic kmlussier: build time?
16:21 Bmagic So, am I building 2.12.4? All patches merged?
16:22 Dyrcona @eightball Should Bmagic build 2.12.4?
16:22 pinesol_green Dyrcona: Obviously.
16:22 Bmagic perfect!
16:24 dbwells I am also starting the build of 2.11.7
16:26 Dyrcona Are the release notes ready?
16:27 Bmagic @eightball Are the release notes ready?
16:27 pinesol_green Bmagic: No chance.
16:27 Bmagic Guess not
16:30 dbwells miker: please feel free to wave a red flag if you need to check or push anything for 2.11.
16:33 kmlussier joined #evergreen
16:33 dbwells Bmagic: yeah, hmm, not seeing a release notes commit in 2.11.  I think it's alright to adjust those later if needed, but not opposed to waiting either.
16:33 Bmagic I vote wait
16:34 kmlussier Hi!
16:35 Dyrcona Hello! :)
16:35 kmlussier Sorry, I've been dealing with the Internet going down throughout the day. The release totally slipped my mind. I merged everything I was planning to merge on Monday.
16:35 kmlussier But I didn't get to the release notes. I can work on those now and have them ready for the morning if you all are okay with doing it then.
16:36 kmlussier I think there are a lot.
16:37 dbwells kmlussier: glad to see you pop in!  Although eightball was doing an alright job filling in.
16:37 Bmagic kmlussier: tomorrow is fine with me
16:37 dbwells kmlussier: Bmagic: I don't think anyone is holding their breath, I am fine with tomorrow as well.
16:38 kmlussier OK, thanks dbwells and Bmagic! Sorry for dropping the ball.
16:38 Bmagic Glad kmlussier came, I was holding my breath..... and now I will live another day
16:38 kmlussier @blame comcast
16:38 pinesol_green kmlussier: Your failure is now complete, comcast.
16:39 kmlussier @praise @eightball
16:39 * pinesol_green @eightball LOVES the RESISTANCE!
16:39 Dyrcona @praise [eightball]
16:39 * pinesol_green It shall be. is the very model of a modern major hacker
16:40 Bmagic bots++
16:41 Bmagic bots--
16:47 kmlussier Wow! paxed is getting credit in this series of release notes. :)
16:56 berick before I open an LP, is there any way to create a staff bucket from a catalog search?  as in, search, then click a button, enter bucket name, all search results go into bucket.
16:56 berick not seeing anything, but I've not-seen things before
16:57 Bmagic not that I have seen
16:58 Bmagic The basic bucket interface has a tab where you can search.... but it's not the same

17:03 kmlussier @hate comcast
17:03 pinesol_green kmlussier: But kmlussier already hates comcast!
17:03 kmlussier @hate comcast even more
17:03 pinesol_green kmlussier: The operation succeeded.  kmlussier hates comcast even more.
17:03 kmlussier berick: Something like this? http://masslnc.org/node/3304 It won't add all search results to a bucket. But users will be able to select results and add them to a bucket.
17:06 kmlussier I think we were concerned about performing actions on all search results in case the search was overly broad, like a keyword search for 'history.'
17:10 miker dbwells: no red flags to wave, he said 40 mins later
17:10 dbwells miker: thank you
17:12 miker berick: "all search results" is frightening to me, also :)
17:14 berick yeah, i'm assuming there would be some configured limit, maybe a warning, etc.
17:15 berick kmlussier: yeah, pretty much that.  that's clearly more flexible
17:16 berick a limited add-all option would still be useful in some cases
17:17 jvwoolf left #evergreen
17:17 kmlussier berick: It won't be ready for 3.0, but we are moving forward with that project.
17:17 berick kmlussier: oh, nice, even better
17:17 berick thanks for pointing me at that
17:18 * kmlussier should file LP bugs for that and other development projects.
17:25 kmlussier 2.11 release notes are done. I'll finish 2.12 tonight.
