[OSM-dev] Datacorruption Part IV; where way members are not in the planet

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

> http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/way/28528730

The planet file is not created from a snapshot. It first dumps nodes, 
then ways. If, after the way dump has been started but before it is 
finished, someone creates a new way with 10 new nodes, then the new way 
will be included in the dump, but the nodes will not.

This probably explains those ways in your listing with the higher IDs.

Bye
Frederik
