New full history en wiki snapshot is hot off the presses!

It's currently being checksummed which will take a while for 280GB+ of
compressed data but for those brave souls willing to test please grab it
from

http://download.wikipedia.org/enwiki/20100130/enwiki-20100130-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2

and give us feedback about its quality. This run took just over a month
and gained a huge speed up after Tims work on re-compressing ES. If we
see no hiccups with this data snapshot, I'll start mirroring it to other
locations (internet archive, amazon public data sets, etc).

For those not familiar, the last successful run that we've seen of this
data goes all the way back to 2008-10-03. That's over 1.5 years of
people waiting to get access to these data bits.

I'm excited to say that we seem to have it  :)

Thankfully due to an awesome volunteer we'll be able to get that 2008 
snapshot in our archive. I'll mail out when it shows up in our snail mail.

Yup, that's the one. If you have a fast upload pipe then I'm more then 
happy to setup space for it. Otherwise it should be arriving in our 
snail mail after a couple of days.

Many thanks to everyone involved.

Also, in case it's of use to anyone I have a copy of the
enwiki-20080103-pages-meta-history.xml dump in 7z form. Is that the
backup that's beeing referred to or is it in fact 20081003?

It's in EC2 so I could get it to you in about 20 mins. Just hit me
with an email off-list with the desired destination...

Newer snapshots super cede their old brethren. So a 20100130 already 
includes all of the old content of 20080103 baring and format changes.

I thought someone had concluded that the 2008 dump was broken.  In
other words that the dumper exited, but the dump only contained about
10% of what it ought to have contained.  I've never handled it myself,
so I don't know for sure.

Regardless, congratulations Tomasz and others.  Getting the dump
system fully working is a great milestone.

Anyone may download the file from me here:

http://grey.colorado.edu/enwiki-20080103-pages-meta-history.xml.7z

The md5sum is:

The file size is:

I'm sure you will find my pipe fat enough..

Re: [Xmldatadumps-admin-l] [Wikitech-l] 2010-03-11 01:10:08: enwiki Checksumming pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 :D

Also, does the 20080103 dump combined with lastest 20100130 dump
provide a complete edit history of Wikipedia? I'm unclear about
whether the 20080103 dump was cumulative or if there was some other
previous cut off point.

Is it correct to assume that future dumps will begin post 2010-01-30?

Thanks!
