Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: API, defect, P1)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.31 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/26.0.1410.63 Safari/537.31

Steps to reproduce:

Downloaded the latest export from prod:
https://marketplace.cdn.mozilla.net/dumped-apps/tarballs/2013-07-10.tgz



Actual results:

The file: `apps/398/398736.json` is empty


Expected results:

As it's available via:
https://marketplace.firefox.com/api/v1/apps/app/398736/?format=JSON
and was created almost a year ago, I guess it shouldn't be empty.

On IRC:
> Hey. I'm mucking around with Firefox Marketplace's daily dumps and I've encountered some empty .json files. I think there might be a problem with your export script.
> I'm talking about the script that produces https://marketplace.cdn.mozilla.net/dumped-apps/tarballs/2013-07-16.tgz and the like
> For example, in today's dump the .json file for app 409334 is empty.
> It was fine on the 14th and 13th, and possibly earlier, too.
> I believe it's a problem with the export script because it works just fine via the API: https://marketplace.firefox.com/api/v1/apps/app/409334/

running the export script locally, I have not been able to reproduce this. This isn't a failure of generating the data, since the export script completes successfully. My only guess at this point is that there's some failure between the data being generated and the tarball being written. Could this be an NFS-related problem?
