The revision_comment_temp table was a temporary table creating a relation between each row of the revision table and a row of the comment table. It was created (along with the similar revision_actor_temp table) to avoid blocking on an alter of the revision table, which took . On large wikis like the English Wikipedia, altering the revision table is a months-long process. This table was created so that other data migrations could be done while the alter was running. Once adding the rev_comment_id field to the revision table was done, the data from revision_comment_temp was merged back into the revision table and the table was deleted.
This table was introduced in Gerrit change 357892. See also the image_comment_temp table.
