| Jul 22, 2009 at 12:56 | comment | added | Tom Ritter Mod | @Marc: There is an admin panel we don't have access to that has a button to Recalc All Rep. We (or I at least) had access to it briefly, but then is mysteriously disappeared. It had a lot of fun buttons. Maybe that's why it went away... | |
| Jul 21, 2009 at 22:27 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | per-user recalcs are indeed available via the ♦ moderator tools on the site; I have no idea how site-wide recalcs are done, but I hope/expect it uses the same code (DRY) - plus the team have repeatedly stated their avoidance of stored procedures. But ultimately, it is an implementation detail ;-p | |
| Jul 21, 2009 at 22:20 | comment | added | tvanfosson | Presumably the one-offs are done using an administrative interface on the web servers. A system-wide recalc could be run from any server with access to the DB. | |
| Jul 21, 2009 at 22:18 | comment | added | tvanfosson | @Ian -- I meant doing it using something other than the SO web servers. It's not clear to me where the load would be with respect to the recalc. I know there have been a few system-wide recalcs so I suppose that they have some knowledge of the cost and where the resource constraints are. | |
| Jul 21, 2009 at 22:17 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | @Ian Elliott - saved me some typing, cheers. I honestly don't know if performance is an issue here; I don't have that kind of visibility. | |
| Jul 21, 2009 at 22:16 | comment | added | Ian Elliott | I don't see how this could be accomplished offline. Either way you have to read and write to the database. If doing it offline you have to deal with what to do if rep changes during the recalc. | |
| Jul 21, 2009 at 22:16 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | @jjnguy; there is no preview, and no rollback. You're stuck with the updated rep, whether you like it or not. | |
| Jul 21, 2009 at 22:10 | comment | added | tvanfosson | Regarding your update: couldn't this be done offline (by offline servers anyway)? Or is it the DB access that is the potential bottleneck? | |
| Jul 21, 2009 at 22:10 | comment | added | jjnguy | Can you do a recalc and then reverse it it if lowers rep? | |
| Jul 21, 2009 at 22:09 | comment | added | Marc Gravell | I expanded my answer to cover that; in short, I think yes, it probably should be. | |

| Jul 21, 2009 at 22:08 | comment | added | tvanfosson | I agree that it's nothing to fear, but should it be done on a more regular basis so the cumulative effect isn't as great? I guess I expected it to happen weekly or monthly. | |
