Hello Wikitech-l,

The Data Engineering team will start the deployment of the changes that
will support the Temp Accounts
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Trust_and_Safety_Product/Temporary_Accounts>
initiative in
the Data Lake <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_Platform/Data_Lake>
starting
today Wednesday January 22nd 2025.
These changes are not activating the Temp Accounts feature in any of the
wikis, but rather enabling support for Temp Accounts in the Hadoop Data
Lake.

The changes are mostly backwards compatible, except for:

   - The MediaWikiHistory dumps
   <https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/mediawiki_history/readme.html> will
   have some new fields inserted, and the order of the existing fields will
   change.
   This might break code that is reading those dumps. The changes should
   take effect at the next snapshot release, at the beginning of February.
   The new schema has already been updated in the MediaWikiHistory
dumps Wikitech
   page
   
<https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_Platform/Data_Lake/Edits/MediaWiki_history_dumps#Technical_Documentation>
   .

Thank you,

Data Engineering team.
