--- Comment #12 from Tim Starling <[email protected]> ---
This started with I811755d4, i.e. Niklas attempting to get someone to fix a bug
by making it more severe. Since that change was deployed to WMF, about 523000
exception messages have been delivered to users. Meanwhile, the two people who
collaborated on getting that change live (Niklas and Aaron) have not been
monitoring the exception rate and have not fixed the underlying issue.
Apparently it's now my problem, which is fine, it just would have made my job a
bit easier if the people who deliberately introduced this bug could have told
me that they did so.

The message cache expiry is one day. When I tested it at an off-peak time
(05:24), it took 3.5 seconds to rebuild the commonswiki/ru cache which was
previously the subject of an exception flood. The lock wait loop gives up after
10 seconds, and after those 10 seconds, an exception is thrown as long as it
has been less than 60 seconds since the lock acquisition. So, what could the
problem possibly be? I'll ask my local rocket scientist.
