AdWords Extractor Update

New version v201509 of AdWords API has been released recently and our extractor will update in the beginning of November. Please be sure to review your configuration so that it does not use unsupported metric names till the end of October. Also do not use new metrics until the update, we will let you know about it. 

Internal logging system failure

Our internal logging system was struck with a failure on some nodes in our infrastructure. This could lead to one of following

  • stalled jobs
  • failing jobs without any message
  • untraceable application errors

This outage lasted between 6:20am-3:00pm CEST (4:20am-1:00pm UTC / 9:20pm-7:00am PST).

We're sorry for any inconvenience, you can restart affected jobs, all systems are fully functional now.

Maintenance Announcement

On October 27th, 2015 we will perform  maintenance of our database servers. This will cause a maintenance window from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm (GMT+1).

During the maintenance, you can't access your data. All running tasks will be monitored by us and restarted in case of any interruption. 


Twitter extractor update

We have updated Twitter Extractor, fixing some issues with OAuth authentication and processing of the data from Twitter.

As a side effect some of the results may have fewer columns, resulting on error on import to Storage API. None of the affected columns should contain meaningful data since they've been processed in a wrong way previously. Simply deleting columns mentioned in an import error message from affected tables will remedy the issue. 

We apologize for the inconvenience if any of your configurations is affected!

Changes to GoodData Writer's upload project and upload table behaviour

API calls upload-project and upload-table now enforce model update every time they are called. Decision making whether to update the model or not based on comparing GoodData's and Writer's last change date of dataset had not been reliable in some situations so we decided to leave it at all.

Now upload-table API call generates one UpdateModel and one LoadData task every time it is called but upload-project API call generates only one UpdateModel task for whole project at once.
