lars

• Socorro:
  • watched helplessly as more HBase trauma halted processing
    • Socorro has gotten pretty good at working without HBase
  • watched helplessly as IT unexpectedly messed with Zeus
    • Socorro can't do much when it can't see Postgres and HBase
  • focusing on fine tuning the modularization
    • this will allow the other organizations adopting Socorro to skip HBase
  • unproductive pining for Python 2.7 with argparse
  • discovered and corrected an omission in the database of a foreign key constraint
    • it prevented the Socorro/Bugzilla associator from track bugs that changed titles several times in a single day
• St Patrick's Day Tradition:
  • Leprechaun Barbecue feast
