The CirrusSearch dumps in this directory (other/cirrussearch/) are no longer being updated. NEW LOCATION: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/cirrus_search_index/ WHY IT CHANGED: These dumps have gotten slower over time, to the point where it would take 7 or 8 days to produce a weekly dump. The replacement orchestration is designed to better handle the hundreds of GB dumped each week. The replacement orchestration publishes the full dump approximately 12 hours after starting up. WHAT CHANGED: Dumps are now sharded into smaller files to support parallelization of the dumps process. For example, 'commonswiki_file' is now located in a subdirectory and split into multiple 1GB chunks rather than a single large blob. Please update your scrapers and automated jobs to use the new directory structure.
