yahoo.identity false negatives

Queries to the yahoo.identity table are inconsistent. Often resulting in false negative results.

For example, the first time I query using the test id:

select * from yahoo.identity where yid='spullara'

results in

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<query xmlns:yahoo="http://www.yahooapis.com/v1/base.rng"

yahoo:count="0" yahoo:created="2011-10-27T13:38:46Z" yahoo:lang="en-US">

<publiclyCallable>false</publiclyCallable>

<url execution-start-time="2" execution-stop-time="51"

execution-time="49" http-status-code="404" http-status-message="Not Found"><![CDATA[http://profiles.yahoo.com/v2/identities.handle(spullara~yid)]]></url>

<user-time>52</user-time>

<service-time>49</service-time>

<build-version>22940</build-version>

</diagnostics>

</query>

Then two call later I get a found message

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<query xmlns:yahoo="http://www.yahooapis.com/v1/base.rng"

yahoo:count="1" yahoo:created="2011-10-27T13:39:08Z" yahoo:lang="en-US">

<publiclyCallable>false</publiclyCallable>

<user-time>162</user-time>

<service-time>160</service-time>

<build-version>22940</build-version>

</diagnostics>

<guid>7C7SIF3MMHEOH3MJ5HYPYQQVQI</guid>

</identity>

</results>

</query>
