In many cases, especially bot/background tasks (e.g. Listeria), a lag of hours is not critical. This is also true for many interactive tools, where the user gets some items matching certain criteria.
However, two situations I see as problematic:
- "Instant gratification" - You see a problem via one of my tools, go fix it, reload to see how nicely it's fixed now - except it isn't. Frustrating, but tolerable.
- Batch jobs. For example, there is an issue with the sourcemd tool at the moment. Essentially, it checks for a large number of scientific publications if they exist on Wikidata or not. If not, it creates them. Now, if people have accidentally listed the same paper twice, or if two different batch jobs check/create the same paper, then the first create is sometimes "invisible" due to SPARQL lag, and a duplicate item is created. This has apparently happened a lot in the last few days.
