Description (last modified by MarcusNoble) (diff)
Look into the possibility of backfilling experiment runs so that reduction jobs can be performed on past data.
Things to consider:
- Disk space
- Ascending run numbers
- Resources (run out of cycle?)
Investigation results:
- Disk space is fine for the time being as only a few instruments are going to be using it for now. Also, as the interface limits results to the past 3 years it doesn't make sense to backfill any further back than that.
- The order of run numbers isn't an issue.
- Resources are an issue and back filling a lot of run numbers could prevent live data from being run right away. Currently backfilling will be on a request basis and run out-of-cycle. Going forward priority queues could be used to help with this. See #10794
