[14:58:25] <addshore>	 \o
[14:58:31] <CFisch_WMDE>	 \o/
[14:59:01] <andre__>	  /o\
[14:59:14] <CFisch_WMDE>	 hi andre__ ;-)
[14:59:47] <addshore>	 o/
[15:00:07] <addshore>	 Welcome to this weeks Technical Advice IRC meeting!
[15:00:22] <addshore>	 No topics pre listed on the wikipage
[15:08:40] <xqt>	 Hi all
[15:10:21] <xqt>	 Someone familar with EventStreams stream?
[15:11:11] <addshore>	 xqt: vaugly !
[15:12:44] <addshore>	 xqt: whats the question?
[15:12:54] <xqt>	 I implemented that stream for pywikibot but I've no glue how to get older events say few hours ord days behind now
[15:14:02] <xqt>	 normaly I can get older events by its id but what is need is some kon
[15:14:15] <xqt>	 ... is some kind of time stamp
[15:17:49] <CFisch_WMDE>	 hmm
[15:18:58] * CFisch_WMDE also not very familiar with EventStreams
[15:19:57] <xqt>	 One strategy would be a binary search through all event.ids until I got the right datetime I think. But this is not very comfortable.
[15:20:34] <addshore>	 I am also not sure
[15:20:49] <CFisch_WMDE>	 Looking at the members of the Phabricator workboard
[15:20:50] <CFisch_WMDE>	 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/members/789/
[15:21:08] <CFisch_WMDE>	 You could try to ask one of them xqt 
[15:21:30] <xqt>	 sure
[15:23:37] <bd808>	 xqt: Krinkle has built a few different EventStreams clients. He may have some ideas for you.
[15:29:20] <bawolff>	 If you're interested in past events, I would assume that using the db replicas would be more logical than using a streaming api
[15:33:07] <xqt>	 bd808: thanks
[15:36:40] <xqt>	 bawolff: The point it that some script should use incoming events with some delays. Well I implemented a delay buffer for it which works fine but it fails for newly created tasks. And the db isn't applicable in such cases.
[15:50:18] <addshore>	 Quiet one again today!
[15:51:02] <CFisch_WMDE>	 Yepp
[15:59:13] <addshore>	 That about wraps us up!
[15:59:38] <ebernhardson>	 ahh, i should have looked here earlier ... the problem with event stream and old events is being worked on with a future iteration. The underlying technology (kafka) doesn't support finding things by timestamp in the current version, but does in the next version they are rolling out soon
[16:01:58] <addshore>	 ebernhardson, if I see xqt again I'll tell them
[16:03:19] <addshore>	 Until next time!
[16:03:25] <CFisch_WMDE>	 Until next time!
[16:03:32] <CFisch_WMDE>	 o/
[22:33:28] <iAdam1n>	 Not sure if this is the correct place to ask but any ideas on https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:U0oqqimq68p2ugn8&topic_showPostId=u0oqqimrqf3rapc4#flow-post-u0oqqimrqf3rapc4?
