Chad H. <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #2 from Chad H. <[email protected]> --- The more I've thought about this, the less I think it's a good idea. It's not just having to sanitize a good amount of data (ssh keys, external id table, draft patches/comments), but with each release, Gerrit is deleting more and more tables. Given that, I'd rather not encourage tools relying on data that's being deprecated from day 1. Instead, I'd recommend writing tools that use stable APIs. The REST API[0] and the `query` SSH command[1] both provide stable machine-readable data sources that can provide nearly (if not all) data that the database can. And given that the API is being actively expanded and added to, it's not difficult to add new endpoints if there's other data we're after. So this is a WONTFIX, but with an open invitation for people to use other ways to consume Gerrit's data :) [0] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/Documentation/rest-api.html [1] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/Documentation/cmd-query.html -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
