Wikidata Query Service/Implementation

Labs Deployment (beta)
Note that currently deployment is via git-fat (see below) which may require some manual steps after checkout. This can be done as follows: See also Wikidata Query service beta.
 * 1) Check out   repository and update   submodule to current   branch.
 * 2) Run   to instantiate the binaries if necessary.
 * 3) rsync the files to deploy directory

Production Deployment
Production deployment is done via git deployment repository. The procedure is as follows: The puppet role that needs to be enabled for the service is.
 * 1)   the source repository.
 * 2)   in the source repository - this deploys the artifacts to archiva. Note that for this you will need repositories   and   configured in   with archiva username/password.
 * 3) Install new files (which will be also in  ) to deploy repo above. Commit them. Note that since git-fat uses archiva as primary storage, there can be a delay between files being deployed to archiva and them appearing on rsync and ready for git-fat deployment.
 * 4) Use   to deploy the new build.

It is recommended to test deployment checkout on beta (see above) before deploying it in production.

GUI deployment
GUI deployment files are in repository  branch. It is a submodule of  which is linked as   subdirectory.

To build deployment GUI version, use  in gui subdir. This will generate patch for deploy repo that needs to be merged in gerrit (currently manually). Then update submodule  on   to latest   head and commit/push the change. Deploy as per above.

Services
Service  runs the Blazegraph server.

Service  runs the updater. Depends on wdqs-blazegraph.

Maintenance mode
In order to put the server in the maintenance mode, create file  - this will make all HTTP requests return 503 and the LB will take this server out of rotation. Note that Icinga monitoring will alert about such server being down, so you need to take the measures to prevent it if you are going to do maintenance of the server.

Upgrading customized Blazegraph

 * 1) Use script buildwmf.sh to create Blazegraph binaries. Note that you need to update   in the script. Also note that   should point to Java 7 home directory (production hosts do not have Java 8 yet).
 * 2) Use instructions in source repo to upload the new binaries to archiva.
 * 3) Update Blazegraph version in   in the source.
 * 4) Rebuild/redeploy production packages as described above.

Releasing to Maven
Release procedure described here: http://central.sonatype.org/pages/ossrh-guide.html

Releasing new version

 * 1) Set the version with
 * 2) Commit the patch and merge it
 * 3) Tag the version:
 * 4) Deploy the files to OSS:  . You will need GPG key configured to sign the release.
 * 5) Proceed with the release as described in OSS guide.
 * 6) Set the version back to snapshot:
 * 7) Commit the patch and merge it

Updating specific ID
If there is a need to update specific ID data manually, this can be done using (for ID Q12345):

The runUpdate.sh script is located in the root of WDQS deployment directory. Note that each server needs to be updated separately, they do not share databases.
