[OSM-dev] XAPI gone?

2009-11-25 Thread Sebastian Spaeth
I just replied to a bug in our trac, complaining about an invalid
caption tile.
The crux is, that generating caption tiles needs the XAPI api and that
seems to be very unreliable if working at all. Furthermore I was told
that the hypercube might go away at some time...
XAPI provides a very useful service and without it I cannot produce
lowzoom caption tiles. Is there something which can supply that
functionality? It doesn't need to be updated minutely, of course

Below my reply in the bug.

THese tiles are due to an invalid caption layer that has been uploaded.
In this case http://tah.openstreetmap.org/Browse/details/caption/6/41/20/

These are not automatically regenerated. However in order to regenerate
them, the t...@h client needs access to the XAPI, which does not seem to
respond at the moment. (eg.
http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/node[place=town|city|country][bbox=39.375000,45.895195,67.50,62.364159])
does not seem to work, or only works in some of the cases.

I am afraid unless we get a XAPI like service, I cannot really
regenerate the caption tiles Keeping this bug open.

The third XAPI instance at Bearstech no longer has sufficient disk 
space.  I'm considering a partial implementation there that will be able 
to process a sub-set of XAPI queries, but that's somewhere in the future.

Out of curiosity, how much and what kind of disk used/needed are we talking 
about?

 Currently about 350Gb.

Since it's pretty I/O intensive, the faster the disks the better.
