Description of problem: When looking at a matrix view using the filter. Results that were deleted are still tallied in the columns. For example: https://beaker.engineering.redhat.com/matrix/?whiteboard=2.6.32-225.el6+KernelTier1+Official+Clone%3ARS+301402+[hp-dl385g7-03.lab.bos.redhat.com]&whiteboard=2.6.32-225.el6+KernelTier1+Official&whiteboard_filter=2.6.32-225.el6+KernelTier1+Official&toggle_nacks_on=on The jobs that are found during the filter: 176533 177101 178726 178727 178728 178730 But if you try to view some of those jobs you get the following message: Invalid J:178726, has been deleted Invalid J:178727, has been deleted Invalid J:178728, has been deleted
Easiest solution is to actually hard delete the jobs from the DB, which means deleting the results. Is there any reason why I can't go ahead and do this ?
Completely removing the Jobs from the DB does not allow us to show historical data, so I guess we can't
Ray, You may have discussed this with other Beaker developers. But I don't understand why would you want to see historical data on something you have deleted? If I delete a job it is because I don't want people to see it. Sorry if I am not getting it :/ Best, Jeff
Hi Jeff, From a users perspective, there is zero reason to keep jobs around for which the owner has indicated that they are no longer interested in. However, the data may be helpful to admins/developers for various reasons (historical queue times to measure potential degredation in QoS etc). Although we don't currently use the historical data, hard deleting jobs from the DB would mean that we will never have the option to in the future. I'll bring it up in the dev meeting and see what others think though.
