Though there are arguments in favor of this, I think they are outweighed by the fact that one would need to go through every block in order to reconstruct the history of even a single page. In my opinion partitioning on page id is a much better idea since it would keep each page's history in a single place. -Robert Rohde _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
