555822 - Throttle automatic updates of Firefox 3.5.9 on release date

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

We've been asked to throttle back the update rate for Firefox 3.5.9 due to the changes made in bug 534079 which will require a complete wipe and re-download of the SafeBrowsing database.

I figure 50% is a good starting point?

I don't know how much load they can handle, or even how big the database is, but 50% seems like a reasonable starting point.

Comment 2

[Brian Ryner]

Should be fine on our side.

Comment 3

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

What about throttling 3.0.19? It got the fix, too.

Comment 4

[Brian Ryner]

If it's convenient to throttle both releases, that's fine, but the number of users still on 3.0.x is significantly smaller, so we're not as worried about the extra traffic.

Attachment: throttling changes for 3.0.19, 3.5.9 shipping

(I'm riding along all the changes we need to make to this file today to simplify deployment.)

This patch:
* Removes 3.0.19 throttling, to enable the advertised major update to 3.6.2
* Throttles 50% of the 3.5.9 update requests, per this bug (test channels excepted). Advertised major update is enabled here, too.
* Preemptively throttles 3.5.10

Still waiting on driver confirmation of the major updates; if they're supposed to go out unadvertised we'll need to modify this.

Attachment: try #2 - MUs should be unadvertised

Per release-drivers, we'll be shipping the two MUs as unadvertised ones, so we need to throttle 3.0.19 and 3.5.9 update requests fully.

Also, I moved the 50% to 3.5.8, which was mistakenly on 3.5.9 in my original patch.

try #2 - MUs should be unadvertised

This looks good to me.  No syntax errors either, which is always a good thing. :)

This will:
- throttle 3.5.8 at 50%
- throttle 3.5.9 and 3.5.10
- allow betatest and releasetest for all of the above

Nothing left to do here; unthrottling is tracked in bug 556939
