            Bug ID: 55929
           Summary: Separate replica datacenter causes high query latency
           Product: Wikimedia Labs
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Infrastructure
          Assignee: rlan...@gmail.com
          Reporter: pathoschild+wmb...@gmail.com

    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

The database replicas are in a different datacenter than Tools Labs. The
resulting latency (26ms per query) has a major performance impact on tools that
need to make many queries. This prevents the migration of many Toolserver tools
(notably crosswiki tools).

This is a tracking ticket for plans to combine the datacenters to address this,
mentioned here:

Repro
-----
The following scripts reproduce the latency issue. They open a connection to
each database server, then execute a sample query for each wiki ("use
`xxwiki`").

Toolserver: https://toolserver.org/~pathoschild/accounteligibility/test.php | 
source: http://pastebin.com/ctUQsXZm

Tools Labs:
http://tools.wmflabs.org/pathoschild-contrib/accounteligibility/test.php |
source: http://pastebin.com/Xi3abGFP

This runs in 0.3 seconds on the Toolserver, but takes a whopping 23 seconds on
Tools Labs. The scripts shows the profiling results at the bottom of the page
(click the [+] next to "Page generated in XX seconds").
