Project:WDQS configuration

The blazegraph backend for the WDQS runs in the container called docker-wdqs-1.

The default values for the variables passed to this container can be found here: WDQS Scripts.

These are the variables the we currently define in docker-compose.yml:

• WIKIBASE_HOST=${WIKIBASE_HOST}
• WIKIBASE_SCHEME=${WIKIBASE_SCHEME:-https}
• WDQS_HOST=wdqs.svc
• WDQS_PORT=9999
• BLAZEGRAPH_OPTS='-Dorg.wikidata.query.rdf.tool.rdf.RdfRepository.timeout=3600'

Additionally, HEAP_SIZE is defined to be 16G in the private production repository (srv-mardi02).

Further blazegraph properties could be tweaked by overwriting the RWStore.properties in the /wdqs directory. See wikibase-docker README.

Fix memory issues:

• Memory issues can be often solved by restarting the wdqs container.
• Increase the heap size (defined in docker-compose.override.yml in the srv-mardi02 repository).
