- lacksconfidence 5y agoseems to depend on the query. I can issue straight forward queries that visit a few hundred thousand triples easily. But when i write a query that visits tens of millions of triples it times out.
- epaulson 5y agoThere's some mix between "it's slow" and "it sets its timeout threshold too low" - a lot of queries would be OK if they just had a bit more time to run. And unfortunately, the time wasted on the badput of the killed queries just slows down everyone else. (They really need a batch queue) The Wikidata folks are well aware of the limits on their SPARQL service. They just posted an update the other day: https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/MSMKYTTWRZDD52JQLZCWPN4RSUCLFFMZ/ https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikidata@lists.w...
