Indicate that constraint check results are potentially stale
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Constraint check results can sometimes be stale – this is already the case, due to the query service’s cache (causing T170672: Constraints gadget continues to show a resolved unique value violation for a while after a merge), but will become even worse once we implement proper constraint result caching (T179839). We should indicate this in the API response, and the gadget should alert the user to it (gently).

[mediawiki/extensions/WikibaseQualityConstraints@master] Add maximum age to CachedResult

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/390395

Okay, after discussion with @thiemowmde, the new implementation plan is:

  • Add a CachingMetadata value object that holds the max-age and possibly additional information in the future. It also has a static constructor to merge several CachingMetadata objects into a new one.
  • Add a CachedBoolean class and a CachedArray class which wrap a value and some CachingMetadata. Make the helpers return those.
  • A CheckResult can optionally hold a single CachingMetadata object, with a simple getter/setter interface.

And here’s how I would split that up across commits:

  1. add CachingMetadata + test (and we might as well start with a max-age right away, no need to keep that in a separate change)
  2. add CachedArray, subclass CachedQueryResults, use in runQuery()
  3. add CachedBoolean, use in SparqlHelper+TypeCheckerHelper
  4. add CachingMetadata to CheckResult and API response
    • question: should the CachingMetadata know how to serialize itself to an array for the API response, or does this logic live in the API?
  5. add ancillary message to gadget (not sure if this commit even needs any changes apart from a rebase… but I suppose yes, if we want to include the unit “seconds” in the max-age field name)

Done, as far as I can tell.
