Expectations
What are we expecting to happen?
- Geo primary begins backfilling the
verification_checksumfield onpackages_package_files - Geo primary begins scheduling
Geo::VerificationWorkerto fillverification_checksumwhen a PackageFile is created - Geo secondaries begin backfilling the
verification_checksumfield onpackage_file_registry - Non-Geo deployment, nothing
What might happen if this goes wrong?
- Verification job exceptions
What can we monitor to detect problems with this?
Sentry errors from classes like "Geo::VerificationWorker" or "Geo::VerificationBatchWorker"
