How do I extend retention period of existing symbol indices (without symbol packages)? about arcade-services HOT 18 CLOSED

I haven't heard anything about the requirement dropping from 30 years to 10 years. Some teams have been ok with 10, but AFAIK the runtime was always 30 years.

I believe we should set the expiration data to the required value right away for all builds, so that we do not need to ever extend it.

Anyone see an issue with just extending the expiration data from the start?

@mikem8361 might have thoughts here. I don't know who would specifically care about overusing symbol indexing/storage space. Maybe until we get a bill, nobody cares. 😄

Works in ZenHub app.

from arcade-services.

If we are talking about extending the expiration date to 30 years for every daily build that might add up and actually cost some storage space. I'm not basing that on any data I have, just a feeling :).

If we can extend only for the potential release builds, then that shouldn't be a problem at all. The old prodcon final publish job had a build variable that could be set to 10950 days. Not sure how things work for releases anymore.

We only have republishing as far as tooling to extend the expiration date.

@JohnTortugo is this done? If not should this be done be P7?

from arcade-services.

It's not done. Currently the expiration date is 10 years. Not a blocker for P6 and IMO not a blocker for P7 as well.

I think now that we are going to have a set or rings where we promote builds through, we might solve this problem by increment the expiration date once the build reach a certain ring. That way we wouldn't increment the expiration date for every build.

@JohnTortugo should we move this to the Ringed releases epic? dotnet/arcade#2891

from arcade-services.

Yeah, I think this should be part of the Ringed release epic. Can you please move it? I don't know why but the 'Epic dropdown' isn't showing up for me.

from arcade-services.

Yep I think it's broken right now 😢

from arcade-services.

I ended up there accidentally at some point. Funny that it's ended up useful. 😄

from arcade-services.

@riarenas says that build's symbol retention is now 10 years. Is that long enough? Ricardo, please let me know if that's incorrect

from arcade-services.

Out of scope for dotnet/arcade#6418.

Closing this as the issue is almost 4 years old and we don’t have plans to work on this in the near future. In case you believe the issue needs resolution - please reopen it and provide a reason.
