            Bug ID: 48707
           Summary: Duplicated values/results
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: REL1_19 branch
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Semantic MediaWiki

On some of our wikis, when #asking (or #showing, or browsing with the Semantic
Drilldown extension) the properties of some articles, we get all the values
twice. The same values, which should be impossible. E.g. imagine we had a
Property:Version and {{#set:Version=1.0}}, if we {{#show:Page|?Version}} we'd
get "1.0, 1.0". 

When this starts happening for a given article, it'll happen all the time for
that article. So it doesn't happen at run time randomly for any article: at
some point it "activates" for some articles, and once it starts happening for a
particular article it's there to stay. OTOH the values only appear once on the
factbox at the bottom of the page, they're only duplicated on semantic queries
and drilldown.

After digging on the logs and using the debug bar I found out that the SQL
queries run on a wiki without the duplicated values issue and on one with it
are the same, the problem comes in the results of this particular query:

SELECT p.smw_title as prop,o_blob AS v0,o_hash AS v1 FROM `smw_di_blob` INNER
JOIN `smw_object_ids` AS p ON p_id=p.smw_id WHERE s_id='337192'

On the wiki with the problem I get something like this:

+--------------+------+-----------+
| prop         | v0   | v1        |
+--------------+------+-----------+
| Property 1   | NULL | Value 1   |
| Property 1   | NULL | Value 1   |
| Property 2   | NULL | Value 2   |
| Property 2   | NULL | Value 2   |
| Property 3   | NULL | Value 3   |
| Property 3   | NULL | Value 3   |
+--------------+------+-----------+

I checked further and it comes down to the smw_di_blob table, all the dupped
values are there. I managed to "hide" this issue by forcing "$usedistinct =
true" on SMW_SQLStore3_Readers.php line 285, but of course this is merely
hiding the symptom instead of fixing the issue.

That's when asking and showing properties. Besides when asking for some
conditions even if we're not asking for a particular property (just articles
matching the condition), sometimes we're getting the same articles in the
result twice. I think it's because of dupes on smw_object_ids but I'm not sure.

When this happens it doesn't happen for all the queries run, just for some of
them. A full refresh (SMW_refreshData -ftpv, then another -v) usually fixes the
issue, but not always. And even sometimes, a full refresh may fix SOME of the
issues, but not all of them.
