            Bug ID: 57186
           Summary: blob_tracking indexes apparently unused
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.21.3
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Database
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---

On enwiki:

+---------------+------------+-----------+
| table_name    | index_name | rows_read |
+---------------+------------+-----------+
| blob_tracking | bt_moved   |      NULL |
| blob_tracking | bt_cluster |      NULL |
+---------------+------------+-----------+

NULL rows_read indicates the indexes havn't been used for reading or writing.
Stats collection has been running here for over a week. Same results on S1
master and several slaves, and various other wikis.

Data / index disk usage for blob_tracking is roughly 50/50 split. Dropping
unused indexes would be good to reduce write load and save disk space.

But are these indexes really likely to be simply unused? Is there any
infrequent maintenance or reporting job that requires them?
