Bug ID: 44310
Summary: Thumbnail cache should be automatically discarded
after 6 months
Product: Wikimedia
Version: wmf-deployment
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Thumbnails which are older than 6 months should automatically be deleted to
force creation of new ones. Reasons:
* Updated image scalers: Many thumbnails were created with image scalers which
are deprecated by now. There are plenty of examples where thumbnails older than
6 years are not sharpened (jpeg sharpening was introduced later, I think) or
broken (Quite a few svg rendering issues were fixed over the years)
* Many bug reports about cache issues: There are many(!) bug reports open right
now complaining about caching issues with thumnails.
* Manual purge does not scale.
* Clean up of unused data: I am not sure about that but possibly the deletion
of old thumbnails makes free space available again on the hard drives.
