I’ve found /a/ problem, if not /the/ problem plaguing stats. It would
appear that the email index attached to the main stats table (tot_team:
[email],[team],[date],[blocks]) went wonky on us and grew to an obscene
size. I stripped off the index last night and rebuilt it and the
rebuilt index weighs in at less than 1/4 the size of the original
index. Anyway, that certainly went a long way towards freeing up space
in the rc564 database and I felt comfortable re-running the 5-Nov and
6-Nov stats.
The stats run began at about 09:00 and is not too far from wrapping up
as I type this. As luck would have it, I’ll be afk when it wraps so
in my infinite optimism I’ve just flagged stats to come back online
when they wrap without a chance for me to audit the numbers. I’m
sure if there are problems, my inbox will tell me when I get back
this afternoon.
So, keep an eye out for stats to come back online, and be gentle on me
if the numbers aren’t right.
Also, as a teaser, there’s some big big statsbox news in the near
future.
