Comment (by karsten):

 The problem is that there's only one way to upgrade to this branch
 correctly: 1) upgrade the hourly updater, let it run, watch until it's
 done, and 2) immediately stop the server process, upgrade it, and restart
 it.  If the operator waits with 2) after 1) is done, the server will
 return empty results for the `family` parameter.  That makes upgrading
 unnecessarily complicated.

 What we should do is wait a bit with taking out the code from the node
 indexer until we're certain that all Onionoo services are upgraded.
 Please find my updated branch with (untested) code for that.
