My organization needs to access historic job information records for metric reporting and resource forecasting. slurmdbd is archiving only the job information, which should be sufficient for our numbers, but is using the default archive script. In retrospect, this data should have been migrated to a secondary MariaDB instance, but that train has passed.

The format of the archive files is not well documented. Does anyone have a program (python/C/whatever) that will read a job_table_archive file and decode it into a parsable structure?
