There will be an outage tomorrow morning (17:00 UTC) for several hours for database reconfiguration. Specifically, the transitioners and validators are falling way behind, making the crediting process quite slow. Last week we successfully created a replica database on a system with a much faster disk array than the master database system. Tomorrow, we hope to swap the two, as the database is seemingly I/O bound and faster disks will mean faster database queries which in turn will mean the validator/transitioner queues should quickly drain.
